Booting in `user-mode' (once chosen in the GRUB) and entering in

larger extent (which is also one of its definition). Would you consider
this as a bug?
Well, it could be interpreted as "login incorrrect due to incorrect
password" :-)
The fact is that you are providing wrong credentials and there are only
two possibilities, either username or password. Username was not asked so
it only lasts the password.
If you consider this a bug (it could be), better report it as a
"whislist" bug.
Greetings,
Methinks it's to make intrusions more difficult, that is, if it said
"user ok - wrong pw" an intruder would *know* the username is ok and
just focus on the password, while the way it is both username AND
password must be guessed.
This is probably a bit weird for the root user, but definitely not
incorrect imho.
Good luck with your p2
