    Hi there,

    I can't login in mi red hat 9.

    All started with some disk errors (I can't remember the messages), at startup.
    That happened a few times, but not any more.

    Now, in the gui login screen, I type my user, and before the password is
    asked, a message is displayed: "autentication failed". That happens with
    all user, root too. The password is never asked.

    I try changing the init runlevel in /etc/inittab, to runlevel 3, to try
    in text mode, but the same happens: as soon as I type the user, it displays
    "password incorrect", before asking for it.

    I try starting with red hat cd 1, in rescue mode, and quiting password in
    /etc/shadow, but the same happens. I also try starting in monouser mode
    (runlevel 1), and change the password from there, or trying a "su" command
    (with root or other users), but "incorrect password" is displayed (the password
    is never asked).

    Can anyone help me??

    Thanks very much,

    Tizo
