I'm trying to use YARD to create a boot/root floppy pair for emergencies. The trouble is that I can't seem to get them to work and I believe I'm missing something. The boot floppy works fine and prompts me to insert the root floppy. That goes fine, i.e., it gets to the login prompt. But at that point I'm stuck. The login "root", and any login I try, yields the following message:
login[12]: invalid password for `UNKNOWN' on tty1 Where is the "UNKNOWN" coming from? I've checked and double checked to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files before the root floppy is created and everything looks fine. I've also copied /etc/login.defs and modified the CONSOLE line to look like CONSOLE console:tty1:tty2:tty3:tty4 with no success. I suspect I'm missing some library necessary for /bin/login, or I'm missing some security file somewhere. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone ever used YARD before on a Debian system? It wasn't packaged so I installed it from source. Specifics: Debian 2.0 beta (everything is the latest available from the "frozen" distribution).
