Subj : Login difficulties! To : comp.os.linux From : arobcorp Date : Fri Sep 03 2004 04:05 am Hi all, i was trying to setup a linux file sharing between two computers (redhat 9), and have done something to upset the computer login process, when i go to login if i type a wrong password, it says "authentication failed", tried i9n text mode and it just kept going back to the origional text login display!. i was tampering with firewall settings, ip address and mnt config, as i had followed a tutorial and when the machine was suppose to show a mounted sys it showed something like (something) boot/= boot...... . what and how can i get my system back!, as i have a lot of information on it, and is there a step by step way? Thanks Andrew p.s. can some one also help with the file sharing thing! thanks!) .
