Ok, Now I need #Linux help. I can't log in.
It's a terminal only set up. Entering the username comes back with "Login incorrect" and doesn't ask my password. I can login as root at the local keyboard, and I can su to the other user. passwd -S says the account isn't locked out. Reboot didn't help, updates didn't help. Cannot log in to anything via ssh. Attempting to change the password incase I got it wrong says no, as the password matches the old password.
Disto is OpenSuse Tumbleweed
