Cannot telnet into pre-R5 board (PAM?)

[David De Ridder]

Hi,

I have a small problem that I would like to see fixed. I'm running
a pre-R5 on our MVME2306 board. I cannot telnet to the board, i.e.
I get the login prompt, but always ``Login incorrect''. 

First I thought it was because I tried to login as root. So I tried 
to create a new non-root account, which fails. When I do a ``useradd'', 
followed by a ``passwd'', then the passwd fails with ``passwd: permission
denied'' (what permission ?).

I strongly suspect PAM being responsible for all this, but I have no
experience whatsoever with PAM. It seems to me that the /etc/pam.d/
are all correct.

Can anybody please help ?
