It is already fixed in current initscripts. i have not seen anything in
changelog about this, but the fact is, it just works :-)

That's your problem (at least part of it). Something to do with NIS 
changed and royally screwed up 7.2 systems. Fix: boot into single user 
mode (type "linux single" at the LILO prompt) and comment out the line 
in /etc/sysconfig/network that says DOMAINNAME=x

I really hope someone comes up with a fix for this for upgraders before 
8.0 is released.

Ok, this time alt+f12 said this:

/sbin/mingetty[789]: tty1: invalid character ^[ in
login name

This was there before attempting to log in, and
nothing else appeared after failed login.

Yes. It's displaying ports being scanned by
portsentry, and nothing else.

[Cooker] can't login to runlevel 3 ...please help

2001-02-15 Thread M. Lists

Inittab is set to boot to runlevel 3, as always.
After recent upgrades, can no longer login, either as
root or user (at runlevel 3). After typing password
for root or user, nothing happens for 60 seconds, a
sentence flashes that's too quick to read, and prompt
goes back to login prompt.
 I then reboot to linux single or linux 1. At the "sh"
prompt, I type login to get the login prompt. I cannot
log in as root here, but can login as a user and then
"su" to root.
 Not sure what is wrong. Security levels are set to
normal (unchanged). /etc/securetty is unchanged
(tty1-6 listed). Running all current cooker packages.

I've been running Cooker for about 3 months now,
upgrading along the way. The login problem occurred
after upgrading to the following packages:

gcc-*-2.96-0.35mdk
libstdc++-*-2.96-0.35
glibc-*-2.2.1-7mdk
ldconfig-2.2.1-7mdk
initscripts-5.60-1mdk
libltd0-*-1.3.5-10mdk
libtool-1.3.5-10mdk
util-linux-2.10s-1mdk
