No not as far as I can remember. Besides, the /etc/pam.d directory seems
to be OK.
Maybe I should add that normal users can login on console, and via e.g.
kdm. So it looks like there is some additional authentication required
after going to multiuser mode, that only affects root logins.
Is there anyone that can give me a hint on where to look?
Thanks,
