Package: login Version: 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-2+squeeze1 Severity: important File: /bin/login
To update from squeeze to wheezy I need to login as root without using X, gdm, etc. So I use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to tty1. However, attempts to login as root result in "Login incorrect" with the following lines in /var/log/auth.log: May 26 14:07:38 BlackBox login[3792]: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty1 ruser= rhost= user=root May 26 14:07:41 BlackBox login[3792]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'root', Authentication failure Login in as a normal user followed by `su -` results in "su: Authentication failure" with the following lines in /var/log/auth.log: May 26 14:10:34 BlackBox su[3846]: pam_unix(su:auth): authentication failure; logname=jeroen uid=1000 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty1 ruser=jeroen rhost= user=root May 26 14:10:36 BlackBox su[3846]: pam_authenticate: Authentication failure May 26 14:10:36 BlackBox su[3846]: FAILED su for root by jeroen May 26 14:10:36 BlackBox su[3846]: - /dev/tty1 jeroen:root When I run a terminal window under X I can su to root. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages login depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpam-modules 1.1.1-6.1+squeeze1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 1.1.1-6.1+squeeze1 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1+squeeze1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l login recommends no packages. login suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
