Description Ramin 2004-04-28 10:04:39 UTC

When I try to log on to another shell (while my System is bootstraping for example) via Alt-F2 I have to enter UserID and Password again.
In 2004.0 it work with root and the Password I set with "passwd" on the LiveCD.
In 2004.1 it doen not work at all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot LiveCD
2.Press Alt-F2
3.Try to login

Actual Results:  
It says invalid login or something similar.

Expected Results:  
Instead it shoud have given me another root shell.

Comment 1 Ramin 2004-04-29 07:00:39 UTC

I tested it again and this time it worked.
Can it be, that "passwd" from the LiveCD does not check if the two passwords match?
