Try that. I guess that the problem is not caused by a particular account, but by something more general. But try it anyway.
Actually I guess that whatever transaction caused rpm.i586 to be installed screwed up more things than just rpm. Maybe it installed some nice i586 versions of important pam modules... who knows.
Possible, but I did not have the user/login problem before replacing rpm. ???? I have added another user, but still have the same problem. No use copying the home directory as the new user cannot login. I used yast to create the user and the accounts are both enabled.
Is there a way to regenerate permissions? Will try rebooting while awaiting an answer.
hard working on a wdoz box. Thanks all for vmware :^)......
AND, of course, rebooting solves nada. will reboot to the install disk and try recovering the user, but am very unfamiliar with the recovery function :^( Pointers, direction, appreciated. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
