Hello, I am unable to login to the ctrl+alt+f1-f6 consoles. When I login,
it takes me right back to the login prompt immediately. When I login 10
times or so real fast, it eventually gives this error:
Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz)
Kernel 2.6.11 on an i686
awilliam login: root
Password:
Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session
INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
Luckily, I have an X session going, so I can still access the server. I
can also ssh in fine, its just console logins that do not work. I did a
google search, and this is a PAM error, but I wasn't able to find a fix.
I am not using NIS or LDAP, just pam to login to the console.
Also, when I try and login, this is printed in /var/log/messages.

Below are my /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pwdb.conf

Thanks for any help!
