here's what you do if your running pam-0.52-1.i386.rpm
or have a pam problem.
at boot were it says lilo boot:
type linux single
this should get you to a # prompt.
then your going to need to go to
the cd and into /cdrom/updates/i386
and type rpm -U -vh --force pam-0.50-18.i386.rpm
then reboot.
and then you should beable to login..
good luck l8rz
