hi,

i installed gentoo 2004.2 on a no name amd athlon system with stage2. i followed the instruction from the gentoo handbook.

i can not login with a normal user. just root can login.

i did check the forum and see some entries about

Code:
/etc/login.access
/etc/login.defs
/etc/security/*

i did check all this files without any improvement for my problem.

on the console for the messages (alt f12) i can not see any errors. in the /var/log/messages i can not see any errors either.

i did try the actuall kernel 2.4.26 and 2.6.7.
i did recompile shadow and util-linux.
no improvement.

ssh login for normal users is ok.

any tips and ideas what could be wrong?

It does sound like a security problem if you're still able to SSH into the user accounts. Most likely local login is disabled for the user accounts. I'd double-check those security configs again to make sure something didn't get changed by accident.

If you're a little confused about the syntax of the security files, you can post them up here for folks to have a look at.
