Not able to login to server thru console but able to login via network using putty
Hi
I am not able to login to server from console attached to server, every time i enter username & password but it again asks for username & password.
But when i try to login to server from remote machine, login happens properly.
Are you using root user to login or some other user for that?
Have you made changes to passwd file to not allow the user to login?
Are you using PAM authentication?

i am trying thru root user.
no changes are made to passwd file
In /etc/pam.d/sys-auth file i have added
password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=8 lcredit=-1 ucredit=-1 dcredit=-1 ocredit=-1
but this parameter is for password aging
I'm not sure if this applies or not since I'm a Newbie but I was having a terrible time accessing my shares from my windows computer. This video helped me solve my issue. https://youtu.be/8FkiOfEgyvM Even if it doesn't pertain, it was a great video and really informative. Best of luck!
