Description Brad 2000-09-16 15:09:47 EDT

No users are able to login using telnet either remotely or locally.  Users 
receive an Invalid Password message after entering their login and 
password.  I am also unable to login as root at the local machine.  I have 
used the -s startup option, changed several passwords, and it still says 
Invalid Password when attempting to login.  As a side note, the ftp/http 
services are both running and authenticating correctly.

Comment 1 Brad 2000-09-19 11:37:20 EDT

The etc/pam.d/login security settings appear to be normal.

Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2001-05-11 08:48:09 EDT

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2002-08-02 08:36:11 EDT
