[rhn-users] prompting password more than one time

[Jeremy Hallum]

Sambit,  Did you edit anything in /etc/pam.d/

or run authconfig?

It could be that there is an authentication check for another service  
in front of pam_unix.so in your /etc/pam.d/system-auth file.

The first check would fail because there is no entry for root in that  
service (like LDAP, or kerberos).
