Re: [Cooker] 2.3.99 kernel and login problems.

2000-04-10 Thread David Walluck

You can add:

tty1
tty2
and
vc/1
vc/2

Then both kernels (2.2/2.3) will work).

I posted about mounting shm from fstab, but maybe this isnt good, we must
do "grep shm /proc/filesystems>/dev/null" because shm will fail when
booting to a 2.2 kernel. We need to be able to handle both 2.2 and 2.3
well.

there has been reports 2/3 weeks ago that this could result in security
problem with telnet (thought i won't claim it's true). So try vc/? but ?
may be insecure.
There are also patches for ttyname and/or util-linux around. i hope
glibc-2.2 come to live soon.

A different viewpoint : this can be seen as a security feature: root may
only be reached from a legally connected user (but then, DrakX should
enforce that at least 1 user is created)

Hi!
   A few weeks ago I wrore solution of this, anyway:
In /etc/securetty already is:

tty1
tty2
...


To /etc/securetty add lines:

vc/1
vc/2
vc/3
...

In case that this doesn't help you, try:

1
2
3
...

Dont run msec batch because it edits /etc/securetty and remming othervalues
 than tty*.
 I hope it's helped you.

There are some problems with ppp in latest kernels.  Are you using
hackkernel?  It is 2.3.99-pre4-pre3, and should include some ppp fixes.

Mount a filesystem of type 'shm' on /var/shm...

Running 2.3.99pre3 (and same in pre1 {pre2 didn't comp}) I can login
to the system fine but the pppd does not function. Any help ?? I get
an http error during boot to late for dmesg something about shm file
system??
Please respond off list (will try with pre4 once it comes to beta)




[Cooker] 2.3.99 kernel and login problems.

2000-04-04 Thread Magnus Holmberg


I just tried 2.3.99 with alans latest ac patch and i got problem. 
I can't login as root from the console.
In the log I get
login: FAILD LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR root, Authentication failure.

If i boot 2.2.15pre17 again it works...
