Let me ask a few questions to make sure that I know just what your system
configuration is:
1.Are you able to successfully login as root and su to root LOCALLY? (NOT
just enter a shell but actually login as root and su to root locally?)
The remaining questions are probably moot if you are successful with #1.
2. Are you using tinylogin's passwd implementation? - you should be
internally consistant if you are. (with shadow, md5, etc. options).
(and I assue you used tinylogin's passwd to set root password).
3. Is the version of tinylogin you are using directing accessing passwd
and group, or is it doing this access through the system? If the later, do
you have the proper libnss_[file -or-?].so 's in /lib with links and a
"good" /etc/nsswitch.conf ? (I'm sorry, but I just don't remember the
options LEM chose, and you may have built a newer tinylogin yourself).
I realize that LEM includes /etc/login.defs, but tinylogin doesn't need
it (at least the newer versions). There isn't really much else being done
in the login (or su) process by tinylogin. Sorry for the questions - just
trying to clarify the issue.
