[Mailinglist] Gentoo: Unable to LOG in

[Hashir]

hi all

 Got the Login working now. 
 The file /bin/login was missing from that computer. i
copied it from the other machine. Now all ok.

 HERE IS WHAT I DID.

  I ssh to the machine.

  When i read through the manual for agetty i found
that it uses /bin/login. But when i checked for that
file it was missing.I used scp to tranfer it the
machine. 


thank a lot

hashir

ps: dont know how that file happened to go missing!
anyway all working now.
