Wild guess on my part. Sounds like a security thing.
Can you su to root from your user? If yes then check
your securtiy settings if no then your back to square
one.

Ok, I give. I've installed Mandrake 7.2 TWICE on this PC. The first time
I tried my Netgear FA311 card . . . no go. I decided to retry the install
with the 3C509 card. It worked like a charm. Unfortunately, in both
installs, I can't get to root! What's up with that? I specified the root
password both times and typed it exactly right each time. (I had doubted
this and thought maybe "fumble-fingered at 11:30 PM" blues had troubled my
first install.) Is there some secret vodoo for this? I can login as the
user I created, but I get permission denied errors ls'ing directories. It
shows Kernel 2.2.17-21mkdsecure on a i586 / tty1 when I go to login.
HELP!!!
