errors either.

Additional info:
Please ask for any logfiles etc. that may be helpful.

Hi Toby, it works for me. Do you have a pristine FC5 installation? I suspect you
have broken pam configuration. Please install these usermode packages for
diagnosis and attach the output here.

Hello Toby, I'm marking the previous comment as private because it's quite
security awkward. Maybe you want to change your root passwd anyway.

Because it seems the problem was caused by an installation issue, closing NOTABUG.
