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. http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/usermode-1.85-2.2.i386.rpm http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/usermode-gtk-1.85-2.2.i386.rpm
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.
