Mike,

I set the user shell to /bin/sh in passwd using vipw, ran clone_root to
propogate the change to the diskless root, rebooted the client and that
did'nt work.

It's really strange - I'm starting to think maybe its a PAM thing, since
after I put in the user/pass in KDM, it sits for about 45-60 seconds
before going back to the KDM login screen again.

Any Thoughts ?

Thanks
