Description of problem: cannot login to desktop, with the correct username & password Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1 How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. Login screen, enter uname & pword 3. After 10 minutes "authentication failed" Actual results: no login Expected results: should login Additional info:
What sort of CPU do you have? Which authentication method did you select at the setup/is current set (pam, ldap whatelse)?
Jay mailed me this one - and I think it's maybe of belong for further debug: "I used the default authentication options at set up. Afterwards I provided support for Kerberos, and LDAP in order to connect to Active Directory. I am not exactly sure what pam is, so I cannot tell whether or not that is the problem. The machine will not accept any authentication attempts at all, even as root. The box is a Pentium 3 (867MHz) with 256 MB of normal SDRAM, and a 10GB 5400rpm ATA HDD." At first I thought about a NPTL problem, but it isn't one, I think. But I could imagine, that the problem is LDAP & Active Directory, maybe there's a misconfiguration - which kind and at which side I still don't know. Maybe Nalin has a better idea...
Jason, are you using LDAP authentication? Can you send me your /etc/pam.d/system-auth and /etc/pam.d/passwd ? I need to know contents of the files in order to reproduce the problem and/or to find a solution for you. Jindrich
No response from reporter, probably a misconfiguration.
