I have recompiled *everything* on a new box, and the problem
still remains. Help! :(
Here is my /etc/securetty:
(I have added gdm :? it still not works)
# /etc/securetty: list of terminals on which root is allowed to login.
# See securetty(5) and login(1).
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
tty8
tty9
tty10
tty11
tty12
gdm
Thanks in advance,
