<Ok, last time I send this. I've had exactly zero responses which makes me suspicious...> <I posted this to -user but got no response, and it could be a little problem with potato if it happens to more people than just me...> Hi, I've just upgraded from "slink with a lot of potato" to potato. (apt-get -f dist-upgrade) having rebooted to let everything settle in (everything looked fine on boot), I then tried to login: When I try I can type my username, it waits three seconds and asks for my username again. (No password asked for and no login)
I have a rescue disk so I can much around with / I'm just wondering whether its because I didn't have shadow passwords installed, and for some reason potato decided to install them. I tried moving /etc/passwd elsewhere, but no difference, and I had a look in /etc/pam.d/* but got scared and ran away :-) TIA Peter Allen
