nor the solution. It appeared that we where not able to login as root, but user login was possible.
Logged in as user I was allowed to 'su' to root.
Perhaps this may be a hint, perhaps not, perhaps Bruno remembers the solution???

I apologize for the many recent questions but I have another trivia question for all of you. :-) I have installed the RH7.3 miniport to a harddrive connected to a MIPS Malta board. The kernel the comes with the port (2.4.18) works fine. I then took the cvs code (2.4.22) for mips and built it for malta. The first few builds worked ok (which means I could logon as root). Then I changed something in the build process so that now the kernels which I build won't allow me to logon as root. I've changed /etc/passwd to eliminate the root pw. Does anyone know how a kernel can affect the login like this? Thanks,
