|As far as I think syslogd has got nothing to do with login, I stongly feel
that
|login command is corrupt. Try this, just get into single user mode and run
|login, then you would get login prompt, then try login and see what
happens.


me thinks root does not have ( if this is related to root login) a proper
shell in /etc/passwd file.
