Running YPserver, DNSserver, and other services on a RH6.2 box. Also running other versions and other machines with a mixture of RH5.2, RH6.2, RH70, RH71.
My chanllenge is as follows. I recently upgraded one of the Linux boxes to RH72; which only job on the network is to provide CDburning services – that’s it [This is the only box running 7.2 by the way]. Except that after the upgraded, I and a couple of other regular users cannot login to this machine; at console or remotely for that matter. Other users can login no problem as usual. I have checked “$ ypcat passwd”, at this machine and I can clearly see the password file from my YPserver.
I have snipped the following lines from the most current /var/log/messages file: I have addedheadings for clarity.
From Console:
==============
Apr 5 11:12:25 roasting_machine login(pam_unix)[31459]: authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=tty2 ruser= rhost= user=rsanchez
From Kdm login:
===============
Apr 5 11:12:28 roasting_machine login[31459]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR rsanchez, Authentication failure
From Remote machine:
======================
Apr 5 11:09:46 roaster login[31483]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM machine.domain.com FOR rsanchez, Authentication failure
I know that I know that I and the other users involved have the right passwords.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
