[X-Unix] >console login problems

[Justin Herald]

Yea, I do have root enabled.

I have to wonder if it has anything to do with /etc/ttys because i 
tried editing that file a while ago to accomplish no login window, but 
when I did that what happened was my screen flashed twice, then 
continued to boot up normally until it came to loading the login window 
then it made no more progress. Then I tried logging in with single 
user, but nothing would show up on my display. I was lucky that I 
always enable telnet, ssh, ftp, etc. I couldn't login with telnet from 
my linux machine with the ibook running on airport, so what I had to do 
was plug it into the router and change the comments back.

Inconsequential, I know. But maybe that problem would shed light onto 
this current problem.

  If an S and an I and an O and a U
With an X at the end spell Su;
And an E and a Y and an E spell I,
Pray what is a speller to do?
Then, if also an S and an I and a G
And an HED spell side,
There's nothing much left for a speller to do
But to go commit siouxeyesighed.
