Ugh. I really screwed the pooch. I was almost done setting up a box for a new web server and I installed a new PAM (pam-0.74- something.tar.gz) from source over top of the one that comes with the RH7 disks (pam-0.72-26.i386.rpm) and I can't log into the machine anymore. I login and then it just sends me back to the login screen again (if I don't enter my user name or password correctly it tells me login incorrect, just like it should). I feel like a big idiot, I knew that RH came with PAM, but I couldn't seem to find it and I wanted it for openssh, so I downloaded the latest and proceeded to corrupt things... The computer is at my house and I can boot to runlevel 1 and edit files, etc., so I'm able to make changes. I just don't know how to fix the problem. I wish I had just run "rpm -q pam" in the first place! Any suggestions? Walter wtem@olywa.net wtem@olywa.net ph. 510 666 0063 mobile 510 858 5562
