No access but root
I recently installed Debian 3.0r2 on 586 system..
recently, I don't know why.. only root can login through ssh..
I am using proftpd, for ftp but that means i can't login as root with
ftp.. or any other account..
I am also using webmin.. and created a user using webmin.. using
virtualmin 1.4.0 to be exact...
I don't know why this is happening.. I have upgradated and upgraded the
system.. using apt-get
I am also seeking some help on linuxforum, I explained my problem there
also.. but people do not seem to be able to pinpoint to why this is
happening.. (http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71259)
after logging in as root, I did this sample run to show other weird
issues I am having ..
checkout this session...
