Same here, but the worst is that when fsck finds an error in my filesystem instead of giving me the login prompt with /sbin/login while the partition is still mounted read-only, it goes right ahead and mounts the partition (read-write) and continues booting. If you try running /sbin/login you get the error every time, but if you run just plain login it doesn't happen. I think if we modify our startup files to simply say login that it should work, but I haven't tried it yet.
Pardon my stupidity, but I have another question about Shadow. The users on my system can't change their passwords, they get the message:
Cannot change ID to root.
I've tried everything, the only thing that works is giving read access to the shadow file, but that defeats the purpose. What am I doing wrong?
