Hello, I'm reporting what it seems to be a bug in the current livecd:
Login is not working for root in the livecd, it only works if I boot as
'linux single'
I'm using 'lfslivecd-x86-6.1-1-pre3.iso' and when I get to the 'login:'
screen where it says something like: "login with username 'root' and use
no password"; if I try "root ENTER ENTER" login fails.
It is a minor bug, but one that has been already addressed and will be
fixed in the next iso. Basically, this happens because there is a
bootscript (called autosshd) that assumes that if you let the boot
prompt timeout, you are booting from a machine with no video and/or
keyboard attached, and therefore want the ssh daemon started. sshd
requires a password to work, so the bootscript sets the password for
root to 'lfs'. It seems the autosshd script is being run if you just hit
'Enter' without typing any other parameters at the prompt as well.
Thanks for the report, and as I mentioned, this will be fixed on the
next iso.
