[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#565927: Debian Linux 5.0

[Paul Ward]

Subject: login: Cannot login as root, even set, at the console.
Package: login
Version: 5.0
Justification: Unusable to setup and do root related items without X windows.
Severity: serious

*** Please type your report below this line ***




I have but one problem. I installed the 5.0 from the internet CD. 
Everything appears right and it boots to an X screen to login. The 
problem is I can not login as root, even at the console. I did answer 
"Do you want ROOT to login at console - YES". I can login as someone 
else, su to root, but many items are very difficult, if not impossible 
to use without an X version of the utility and quite a number, you MUST 
be ROOT to use them.
