PAM screwed me over?

Post by zlasher »

Well.. I'm knee deep in something.. :cry:

After rebooting my xbox I was suddenly unable to login as root either on the console or through SSH.. I was able to log in as other users..

I AM able to login to webmin - so there isn't a password issue (or anything like that)..

This is what webmin said (thank god I installed it - actually by coincident)

Code: Select all

Apr 21 23:34:55 xbox sshd(pam_unix)[1995]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.2.112  user=root
Apr 21 23:34:58 xbox sshd[1992]: error: PAM: Authentication failure for root from 192.168.2.112
I have run magic not long ago - and I don't think I've done anything else (stupid) - anyone has a suggestion?

I've managed to mount a samba share to the root of the filesystem - so I'm backing up my files.. If I don't solve this fast, I'll just reinstall ..
