Which version of audit-libs package do you have? And which kernel? Do you have SELinux on?
i'm using audit-libs 0.9.8-1 and kernel 2.6.11-1.1287_FC4 and i don't use selinux. while... booting into INIT 1 and trying to change root's passwd i get System Error after the passward change in the /etc/shadow file. and trying to login returns "login incurrect" i added new user with passward and without password... still the same ! i changed the /etc/pam.d/login auth,pass file params to md5, shadow , nullok ... more , and still the same error.
Hmm this seems like duplicate of bug 160929. Could you try to upgrade to a newer kernel?
true, it a duplicate of bug 160929 ! and after upgrading to kernel 1383_fc5 the problem was solved too :-) thanks !
