Hide Forgot
I have tryed to install RH6.1 on a smp system (4 CPUs and 3gb ram). I had turned off shadow passwording and the install seam to go OK. After the install finished, I rebooted and was prompted for my user/password. When I typed in root, or any other user that I created, I would get no prompt for the password and get a 'Invalid login'. To fix the problem, I re-installed RH6.1 and when the installer ask me to reboot, I used Alt-F2 to get to a prompt and was able to look at the mounted filesystem. In the passwd file it was showing the line root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash I did not have a shadow password file in /etc so I created one. Then rebooted and was able to login just fine.

This bug is fixed in the latest installer available in beta currently.
