Cannot login if System Is Not Rebooted (4423853)

When installing in single-user mode, do not use the exit command when you are done. You must instead use the reboot command. If exit is used instead of reboot, the following happens:

• The system is brought to init 3, and you cannot log in until the system is rebooted.

• No other users can log in until the system is rebooted.

• pam_projects.so.1 dumps core when any user or process tries to log in. The following message is displayed:

  NOTICE: core_log: in.rshd[1479] core dumped: /var/crash/core.in.rshd.1479

• If a process attempts to access the pam_projects.so.1 module, load module messages are displayed on the system console. A message similar to the following is displayed:

  cron[1433]: load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/pam_projects.so.1

  These messages are also displayed if MU1 is installed in multi-user mode. In both cases, the messages are no longer displayed once the system is rebooted.

Workaround: If the exit command is used after installing in single-user mode, reboot the system.

If the exit command is used after installing in multi-user mode and no root users remain logged in, reboot the system.
