and the (obfuscated) root entry from /etc/shadow:

Hope this helps..

Yeah! Now we're getting somewhere... Here's some things to try:

* Make double sure that root's /etc/passwd entry has '*' for the password field.

* try resetting root's password by running 'passwd' and re-entering it.

* find out where pam_smb_auth comes from, with perhaps
"rpm -qf /lib/security/pam_smb_auth.so". I don't see that module in the Fedora Core samba RPMs...


samba-3.0.0-15 has /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so
samba-common-3.0.0-15 has /lib/security/pam_winbind.so

* What changes if you remove the pam_smb_auth line? Do you still have null access? Do you still have access using the password?
