After finding out that dhclient was broken, I used dhcpcd and got an IP from the router over here. However, I noticed that only 5 ttys were enabled, so I edited inittab just like I did on my previous Debian system to add 6 more consoles. The syntax in inittab is: console:1235:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 . Example: c6:1235:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 And I did this for all 12 ttys. Granted, I got the 12 consoles...However, I can't login as root in consoles 6-12, nor can I login as user (the account being igueths). All the other accounts I created could login just fine. Could my problem be something with the UID's not being set propperly? Also, init is periodically respawning process when it shouldn't be i.e., I get messages about certain consoles respawning too fast. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Quite honestly, I've never seen this type of behavior before on a pretty much newly installed system. Thanks! spawning too fa - -- Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with your Microsoft product. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAjxhRNohoaf1zXJMRAtf8AJwOsYSD8skzu/pMtz+hg+Dsi3vqxQCeIoML KNcaJTmgnC4Z+zFn7pBZsAI= =b5p0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
