After running /etc/crpasswd, I should be able to log in through
/bin/login without trouble right?
I telnetted to my own node the other day, and coulc not log in,
getting the 'Login Incorrect' answer. The difference from any other
daily activity was that I was using inetd to support telnet and other
services instead of /sys/tcp/telnet_server.
I boiled the problem down to this:
I tried logging in through /bin/login, and I got the same
errors. I've done the crpasswd procedure, so what am I missing?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Scott -- Two things come to mind (and that's stretching it's capacity :-) 1) is /bin/login owned by & setuid root?? (ls -l should show 4755, owner == root , group == staff) 2) the person "root" in the registry MUST have been created by the one-time-only execution of the command /install/addroot, and not by manually adding a person named "root" to the registry. (Addroot does some magic inside the registry to add root as a "special" person.) ...walt... -- Walt Weber PHONE: (617) 256-6600 x7004 Apollo Computer GENIE: W.WEBER Chelmsford, People's Republic of Massachusetts
