(starting hal-deamon waits forever) In runlevel 1 I was able to login as root even with ro mounted / . A reason for the message "Error in Service Module" could be session required pam_lastlog.so If pam_lastlog cannot write, it returns exactly this error. Thorsten do not want to create an exception for root there, because other customer will require that every login must be logged and there security policies will reject such a behaviour. And even if we would implement such an exception it is not clear if other programms requires write access, e.g. login to wtemp and maybe also bash. In general this "somehow remount / as readonly" is a bug elsewhere. This should be fixed. Thorsten and I decided => wontfix. -- 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.
