Hi,

I booted on /opt/eldk/ppc_4xx. But it does not allow root login from my serial console.
I changed the /etc/passwd so that I can login in as adm. Anyone can give me advice on the
problem? Thanks.

Following is my srceen out. (192.168.5.249 is my box IP)
hyperion: 124 % telnet 192.168.5.249
Trying 192.168.5.249...
Connected to 192.168.5.249.
Escape character is '^]'.

Linux 2.4.20-pre4 (192.168.5.249) (11:29 on Wednesday, 28 August 2002)

login: root
Login incorrect

login: adm
Last login: Wed Aug 28 11:15:59 from 192.168.5.58
No directory /var/adm!
Logging in with home = "/".

Regards,

Jin

It's difficult to predict what you changed, and how.

A stab into the dark: when installing the ELDK, did you remember to run the ELDK_FIXOWNER script?? See section "7. Mounting Target Components via NFS" at http://www.denx.de/ELDK/eldk-nfs.html
