Can't login to new install

ssl6 · 2012-08-13 16:03:55

I had an SSD fail on me last week, so friday, I picked up a new one. luckily, it was only holding my OS, yay

Anyhoot, here's the issue

I boot from the latest ISO
partition and configure my mount points, install packages, etc, all the standard stuff

I boot into the system for the first time, login, all is well

I then start by loading openntpd and configuring to sync to my webserver like every other machine on my network
I then installed and mostly configured SSH minus kerberos, start the daemon, and test it, all is well
I then install samba, and carry over my previous krb5.conf and smb.conf, pam rules remain ontouched still
i run kinit to make sure i can get a token and join to the domain succesfully
start the samba daemon and all is well

i then add the openntpd, sshd, and samba daemons to rc.conf

after rebooting, I can't login, i type in the user name, root for example, and it goes back to asking for a user name after seemingly timing out

wtf? any thoughts

Hmm... Did you accidentaly modify the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow files?

My first thought is that your keymap is different now than when you created the password. Any special characters in your password btw?

there's an exclamation in my password. but i don't get that far, i can type in the login name, root for example, press enter, and it will hang for a few minutes and go back to the username prompt without even asking for a password....

and i'm not sure how i would have accidentally modified the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow from cli without intentionally typing in those paths to modify them?

Did you change anything in your pam.d folder?

as I noted in my first post. I haven't touched the pam rules yet to allow domain logins. local login should still be allowed per usual

i'm really at a loss though, I just want my system back up and running as it's been down for over a week now since my previous SSD kicked it on me
