It's possible that there's something wrong with the shell. Boot up to a boot disk, then edit /etc/passwd to show a different shell for your user account, and the root account.
By default the shell is bash, try sh or tcsh. Honestly, that's just a guess.. But it's something :) D- > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Glen Lee Edwards > Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2001 5:03 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Can't log in from console or telnet > > > Running stock Red Hat 6.1 on a Packard Bell Legend 85CD > Supreme 486-66.
