I solved the problem.  It was caused by no root password.  The surprising
thing was that it would accept anything typed at the root password login
prompt.  May have something to do with that bug in login.c that I have a
patch for.

Thanks for being there and you can close this bug report.  It was user
error <g>.

Rapid City, SD              Those who put everything in two categories
USA                                   and those who don't.
