Hi all. i just installed Slackware-9.1. After finding out that dhclient 
was broken, I used dhcpcd and got an IP from the router over here. 
However, I noticed that only 5 ttys were enabled, so I edited inittab 
just like I did on my previous Debian system to add 6 more consoles. The 
syntax in inittab is: console:1235:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 <tty>. 
Example: c6:1235:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

And I did this for all 12 ttys. Granted, I got the 12 
consoles...However, I can't login as root in consoles 6-12, nor can I 
login as user (the account being igueths). All the other accounts I 
created could login just fine. Could my problem be something with the 
UID's not being set propperly? Also, init is periodically respawning 
process when it shouldn't be i.e., I get messages about certain consoles 
respawning too fast. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Quite 
honestly, I've never seen this type of behavior before on a pretty much 
newly installed system. Thanks!

Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with your Microsoft product.
