[solved] Password no longer works at tty, but does work elsewhere

Hi,
The other day I could no longer log in to a tty; "Login incorrect", but other users are fine. You're probably thinking I forgot my password, but I can confirm it is correct as I can log in as "user2", "su - jsteel", enter the password and it accepts it! After doing that I can run passwd (it asks for my current password) and it accepts it there too. I have not proceeded to change my password (which may well fix the issue) as I am interested to investigate what the problem is exactly.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks

/etc/shells showed /usr/bin/zsh whereas my $SHELL was set to /bin/zsh. Updating my shell to /usr/bin/zsh fixed the issue! I guess it didn't like the symlink, I wonder why.

    My Xlite 4.0 software does not work with Jetpack but does work with droidx hotspot can this be fixed?  I have attached a packet capture for packets from DROIDX with android 2.3.4 marked as XliteWith3G.cap and a packet capture for Xlite with the Jet pack XliteWith4G.cap   obiviously same packets coming from Xlite different results depending on WiFi connection.

    Hi Vidya,
    Thanks for posting your example. You may want to remove your workspace details from the previous posting, or at least update the password on the workspace. I've taken a look at your example and initially couldn't see anything wrong with your tree query. However, when I ran your query in SQL Workshop, it only returned one row, which would explain why you were only seeing one node in your tree! I've updated your query to use a WITH clause, and the tree is now working correctly. I believe you've hit an underlying database bug where the CONNECT BY query is only returning 1 row, when in fact it should return > 1 row. By re-writing the query to use a WITH clause, you can get around the problem.

  • DHCP in Hotel does NOT work on OSX but DOES work in bootcamp

    Staying at the shiny new rennisance hotel in boston MA. I have a Macbook Pro and 2 macbooks with me. with the wired ethernet, NONE of them will get an IP address. However, when I use bootcamp and boot into Vista, it works fine!
    Any suggestions?

    Funny you should ask - I had this same problem last night at the Residence Inn in Washington, DC. Even stranger for me, I found that my MBP could not obtain an IP, but when I ran Parallels, the Windows XP instance could connect. As Parallels was getting its network connection from the Mac OS, I still haven't figured how that was possible...
    Regardless, is the hotel using iBahn? If so, I spent some time with the iBahn tech rep and was able to come up with a solution by setting all the network properties manually. Every time I renewed my DHCP lease, I would obtain an IP address (10.x.x.x) and hold it for about 2 seconds before it would disappear. By watching what IP address I was given, I was able to set up my Network Properties manually:
    System Preferences -> Network -> Ethernet
    Configure: Manually
    IP Address: 10.x.x.x (whatever the DHCP server tries to give you)
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 10.x.x.1 (where the first two x's are the same as your IP)
    DNS Server: 172.16.2.5, 4.2.2.2
    You might try calling iBahn if you need help with this. They can watch your network port (by telling them the hotel's phone number and your room number) and tell you what IP address the DHCP server is assigning to it.
    I hope this helps!

  • Norton toolbar doesn't work on desktop but does work on laptop. Desktop shows toolbar disabled but there is no "enable" button

    The Norton toolbar does not appear on my desktop version of Firefox 24.0. It does appear on my laptop version of Firefox 24.0. The desktop shows that Norton was disable as incompatible with 24.0. But there is no "enable" button. How do I get Norton toolbar back?

    Hello,
    It sounds like you may be using different versions of the Norton toolbar. The one on the desktop must be older and not updated for v24 of Firefox. The one the laptop must be newer.
    See here for where to get the latest version of the Norton toolbar:
    https://support.norton.com/sp/en/uk/home/current/solutions/v58055475_EndUserProfile_en_us
    On a side note v24 of Firefox is no longer the latest version. To get the latest security updates you should update to v25. See here:
    [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
    I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

  • HT5022 After setting up, no longer appears in either version of Airport but DOES WORK! Why?

    After setting up, no longer appears in either version of Airport but DOES WORK! Why?

    Hey Bob...
    So far, using wireless only on the AirPort Extreme... (No Ethernet Devices or USB connected)
    Yes to "create a wireless network".
    My Cable Modem is the latest Motorola Docis 3, The APE is M8799LL/A Model A1034
    Yes both versions...
    More detail.... If I reset the APE, it shows up just fine in 5.6.
    I  go through configuration. I choose APE name, new wireless network, enter Wireless Network name and password.
    Set for WPA.
    Anyway, Airport 5.6 claims success and restarts APE. Never finds it again, (unless I reset it again. Went thorugh this process 3 times with same results... )
    Anyway. the utility cannot "see" APE but my devices, (iPads, iPods, iPhone, Macbooks, Android devices as well), All can see APE and connect to it.
    So, NOT major issue except that in order to make ANY changes to the APE, I must do a reset..
    It's just WEIRD!    

  • My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

    My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
    First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
    showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
    chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
    no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
    or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
    disk mode.
    Moreover, i recommend you to
    restore ipod to factory settings.
    If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

  • I have a version 1 iPad. I would like to be able to use my LCD projector to display content to my students. I have the dongle to attach to the projector, but can't make it work. The process DOES work with my friend's iPad 2. Any advice? Thanks!

    Expanding on what deggie said, with an iPad 1 the app you're using must support video out. Only the iPad 2 can mirror the screen. The apps included with the iPad that output to external monitors are given here:
