I have got a old box which was running suse 5.x and has ( last night ) been upgraded to Suse7 All went very well despite a few silly things. However something odd is now happening... if I telnet to the box it only asks for a username at logon rather than username and a password ? Any ideas ?
Only a guess, but I had a similar problem upgrading and old RedHat, enabling shadow passwords in the process. Changing every user passwords by hand solved the problem (since a utility to do so was useful only to obtain a tight CPU loop ;_;). Chech to see if /etc/passwd and /etc/shadows contain "sane" values.
