after running searches with near exact, then various wordings
of problem against sites; centos.org, fnal.gov, and,
fedoraproject.org and with no domain named, nothing hit that
was close.
after thinking about what was happening and how the 2 systems
where set up, the only things that was common between them was
both used same /home partition. both systems had the other system
mounted in /hdd/sd/xx.
'SWAG' time.
i could think of nothing to try other than to comment out the
mounting of the other system in the 2 fstab files.
booted centos install dvd to rescue mode, ran the 'game' again.
booted up sl63, logins ok.
booted up c64, logins ok.
'DANK' time.
anyone care to make a suggestion as to why unmounting other system
cured problem?
with previous installs of different distributions and with mounting
non booted systems to mounted system, i have not had problem.
