I administer a Linux Server with Red Hat 6.2 and
yesterday, suddenly, I cannot login in the console as root: after typing the
password, the system answer "Login incorrect". I can login as any valid user and
su, in the console and in the LAN terminals.
The error in the log is "Jul 18 14:26:52 mail PAM-securetty[2701]: Error opening /etc/securetty Jul 18 14:26:56 mail login[2701]: FAILED LOGIN SESSION FROM (null) FOR root, Error in service module". The securetty is OK. If I make a "ps" command, the list don't show any TTY number (only "?"). If I make a "w" command, the list is correct, saying I'm at "pts/0" tty. I think there is any wrong and the system cannot identify the TTY number (ps reports "?" TTY) and so I have root access only in the console (/etc/securetty), root cannot log in because the system don't know that root is in the console. Any idea which files must I review? Antonio
