Hi all,

i installed SuSE 7.1 successfully, including the nkitserv patch.

i can connect with telnet over ip and via the serial line to the server, but when i try to login as root i get a "Login incorrect".

i set ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE to "yes" but it did not help.

Did you run SuSEconfig after this ?

any ideas?

/var/log/messages ?

additionaly: does anyone know where this variable is used?

Yes, from SuSEconfig, which changes the pam configuration in /etc/pam.d/* Thorsten -- Thorsten Kukuk http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/ kukuk@suse.de SuSE GmbH Schanzaeckerstr. 10 90443 Nuernberg Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful, gives terse, cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
