Hi,
I've just compiled a new kernel for my system (third time!) and when I
select the new kernel from the boot prompt, I fail to login as root. It
goes:-
Boot: sd(0,a)/newkern
blah
blah
blah
Login: root
Password: *******
Login not allowed from here (or words to that effect)
Boot from the original /kernel and all is OK.
I have read the LINT and GENERIC kernel make files, and searched all the
FAQs I can find for "root" and "login" and cannot find any mention of
secure root logins.
What have I broken?
q2) Probably an easy answer.
I cannot access sd(0,a)/kernel from my boot floppy when the wd0 is
enabled in the bios. Currently I dissable the ide hd in the bios so that
I can boot my FreeBSD scsi (aha1542) drive. The BIG problem is when I
forget to reset the bios to boot from the ide when my wife wants to use
the machine!!!!
I am reasonably competent using Unix (I manage 8 IBM AIX rs/6k) (Don't
laugh!!!!) so please don't think I have made this posting as a first
resort. I have looked long and hard at what I have been doing over
several nights.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Phill.
