I've got a PXE server set up, the clients boot, and all seems to be OK.
I get to the point of "Running /sbin/init", and it dies.
I change the inittab to run in runlevel 1, and I get a bash prompt. If I try to
change the root password with passwd, I either get "Authentication token
manipulation error" or "Authentication token lock busy".
This is booting from NFS so almost everything is read-only.
I've had this fixed once before, but I had to change a few things and make a
new image on the server, and lost the changes I made. Like a dummy I didn't
back it up, nor bookmark the page that had the fix.
I remember commenting out a file in the /etc/pam.d/ directory, and everything
worked fine afterward...
This is rather important, because I need to get about 40 clients PXE
booting ASAP!
Can anyone provide a clue as to what it may have been?
Thanks SO much in advance!
