Seems strange. did you also let the "automatic login" selected? Is the install completely default? did you receive any message saying that the passwd is too small or is included in the dictionary (I receive always these two)? did the first reboot run as expected? it's a kexec one and frequently fails (on my desktops) can you create an other user (can you simply launch YaST?) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If this reproduce evry time on this computer, it's weird! I just did a fresh 11.4 install on virtualbox with the same settings and when doing su, it asks for a pass (either my memory fails when I remember don't having to give one or I confuse with live dvd). Do you have any special device on this laptop as fingerprint reader? I installed an HP laptop last month without problem. If no of these suggestions have meaning, I giveup :-(. Probaly it could be of some use to have a YaST log (run "save_y2logs" and attach to the bugreport) - but not for me, I did my best, sorry! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Now I know little of pam.d and how the installation of opensuse works but I can be sure I did not touch that directory. Maybe opensuse uses diffrent images if its laptop vs desktop ? anyway I will attach the pam.d from the laptop as a tar to this bugzilla, hopefully it will help us understand why it was installed ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can reproduce this problem at will on four separate systems, so I can hopefully provide more information and someone can hopefully provide me steps for a fix (aside from finding a working pam.d). My installation (salient details): - non-virtual installation, Dell R410 server - automatic configuration turned *off* - admin account created, same root password *off*, receive system e-mails *on*, automatic login *off* - was prompted for separate root password, it is different - only added development packages with install (c/c++, kernel, java, perl, python) Install completed without errors. I thought it my be related to online updates, but the problem appears even if I skip the networking/updates. Exact behaviour of the problem: - for either root or admin account, logins through console, display manager or ssh succeeds with *any* password. Starting YaST (where it asks for a password) also succeeds - attempting to change either password with the 'passwd' command fails with 'Permission denied' -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Jumping on the bandwagon since this bug appears stuck. I can reproduce this problem at will on four separate systems, so I can hopefully provide more information and someone can hopefully provide me steps for a fix (aside from finding a working pam.d).

See comment #18, did you use image based installation? If so does turning the option off help? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ok, based on the previous information I had managed to confirm that updating common-auth, common-password and common-session from another system fixed the problem. I did a reinstall with the same options except for turning off install from images as described in #18. The problem did not reappear and I just confirmed that the correct common-* files are in /etc/pam.d -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What's last modification time of those currupted /etc/pam.d files? + Please attach YaST log files from the same test, so we can compare it with the logging times in the log. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Okay, I been searching into this PAM error and found the /etc/pam.d, here I noticed a difference between the pam.d on the laptop and that on the desktops, it had a few files more like common-auth-rpmnew and some files where different in size by a few bytes

so I made a backup of pam.d on the laptop and copied the pam.d over from the desktop, and low and behold passwords now work !!!

Now I know little of pam.d and how the installation of opensuse works but I can be sure I did not touch that directory. Maybe opensuse uses diffrent images if its laptop vs desktop ?

anyway I will attach the pam.d from the laptop as a tar to this bugzilla, hopefully it will help us understand why it was installed ?

This worked for me too. Just replace files under /etc/pam.d/ with the same files of a working 11.4 installation. Updating my system didn't worked. Should this be a security update? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
