Login problem

ssin14 · 09-09-2006, 11:03 PM

Hi all I just joined this forum as I am installing slackware as my OS.
Setup was complete and when I rebooted it asked for host login and password. I know only the password which I created at the end -root password.
Whats wrong out here

cheers

lol you told us what was wrong. Does it boot to a graphical login screen? or is all text? If you don't remember creating a user account to login too, try logging as root

username: root
password: your_root_password

After that you can see what the names of the users created on your system are or create one if there isn't one.

(try not to make a habit out of logging in graphically as root though, its not a good idea unless under abnormal circumstances)

lol. sorry I didnt knew ....it works so thats means I am logging as root. now I got it. thanks for that. Can this slackware act as proxy server , firewall, FTP, etc for network operating systems that will control 20 Pcs. ?

ofcourse slackware can acts a proxy, ftp, firewall. check documentation on squid for proxy, vsftp for ftp and iptables for firewall.
you could try changing your ip from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 or something like that.

Use:

Code:

netconfig

as root to change your ip

or you can manually edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf

Hi,

Just to clean the thread! This is slackware and you would either edit the /etc/rc.d/inet1.conf file then /etc/rc.d/inet1 restart.

Or you could run netconfig then /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart.

This is not fc!

what I meant was there must be a script where you could enter values.

Hi,

Chill what? I was correcting the thread issue from a slackware standpoint.
