[Pkg-shadow-devel] Login incorrect

[YuGiOhJCJ Mailing-List]

Thank you for the answer but it doesn't help.
I try :
1. Change the CONSOLE value in /etc/login.defs
2. Check /etc/login.access
3. Check /var/log/faillog
4. Use strace /bin/login

1. Change the CONSOLE value in /etc/login.defs
-CONSOLE /etc/securetty
---
# /bin/login
samson login: root
Password: 
Login incorrect
---
-CONSOLE console:tty01:tty02:tty03:tty04
---
# /bin/login
---
-#CONSOLE
---
# /bin/login 
samson login: root
Password: 
Login incorrect
---
-CONSOLE console
---
# /bin/login 
---

2. Check /etc/login.access
-file removed
-file created but lines commented
-file created containing only this line:
+ALL: ALL
For the 3 cases, it's the same behaviour as above.

3. Check /var/log/faillog
The file is empty.

4. Use strace /bin/login
With this utility I see a lot of (No such file or directory)
So I create the files missing:
-/var/log/btmp
-/var/run/nscd/socket
-/etc/localtime
-/lib/libnsl*
-/lib/libnss_*
-/var/run/utmpx
-/var/run/utmp
-/etc/ld.so.preload
-/etc/ld.so.cache
After this I got content in /var/log/faillog:
UNKNOWNN

Do you see an other thing to do to solve my problem?
