Re: [CentOS] did CentOS x86 5.3 migrate to another hard drive, but console login keeps prompting even with correct password

From: choyaumeshu choyaumeshu@gmail.com

I did the following to migrate my CentOS box to the destination hard drive: 5. modify /boot/grub/menu.lst on both /dev/hdc2 and /dev/hdd2 6. modify /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab additional info:

1. can boot up system in single user mode
2. sshd is up but can't ssh in even with correct password

Nothing in the logs? Maybe do an strace on the login and try to see what makes it fail. I would suspect a missing suid bit (to read /etc/shadow by example)... Try 'rpm -qaV' BTW, did you change all the machine specific things like MAC addresses, ssh server private keys, etc...?
