After the 4th install of FC 4, I can finally log in - but only as root. On the login screen, if I enter the incorrect password, lettering on the screen changes to indicate an incorrect login, as might be expected. Using the correct password, a separate dialog box appears saying "Authentication Failed". The root name and password is the only combination that works. Booting with selinux=0 on the Grub command line does not help. When installing, I enabled / selected kerberos and LDAP, thinking I might want them in the future - I did not configure them. Do I have to reinstall without them? -- -Dan Dr. Dan Martin, MD, CCFP, BSc, BCSc (Hon) GP Hospital Practitioner Computer Science grad student ummar143@cc.umanitoba.ca (204) 831-1746 answering machine always on
