Here's an odd one. My 3PAR Sim 3.2.2 enclosure VM works OK but the disk nodes won't allow me to logon at the local terminal. I've just deployed them and have never logged in before.
If I enter the
wrong username/password, I get the expected behavior. If I enter the
correct username/password ("console" and "crH72mkr"), it flashes some text on the screen for a split second (too quickly to read), clears the screen, and dumps me back to a logon prompt.
I shut it down then mounted the VMDK to another linux machine to examine the logs. Unfortunately I'm at work and they're at home -- I'll have to post them here later -- but I recall syslog indicating things like:
pam_unix: no such file or directory on /etc/securetty
pam_auth_recovery: username not supplied
Any thoughts?
