I have 2 targets, both kernel.org linux-2.6.17.11. Both are currently =
using rootfile systems from montavista's 2.6.10 distribution. One is a =
PPC8241 and the other is a PPC8541.

On the 8241, I can login with a telnet session as root. On the 8541, I =
cannot. On both, I can login at the serial terminal as root with no =
passwd.
=20
Neither as a password for root in /etc/passwd. That is, the first line =
in the passwd file says "root::0:0:root:/root/bin/bash".

Being toasters, I dont want a password to cook my toast.

The question is:

"What are the various things that might cause one toaster to be able to =
login from a telnet session and another, very similar one to not be able =
to do this?"
