error message, "Error in service module." and I cannot login as root. (However, from the Desktop and in a terminal window I can login as root and the password *is* accepted.) Same thing also happens when I try and login as a User- error message about the service module :-( .
Are there no errors in /var/log/messages?
OK, google first, reply second: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux-help/63144-error-service-module.... (summary: this is a PAM error. Comment out the last 3 lines of /etc/pam.d/login.) Googling for the exact phrase "error in service module" yields nearly 500 results, but so far I've only checked the first few. The above URL is the only one so far with anything that approaches useful and explanatory information (eg. does the law of unintended consequences apply?).
