I have a very strange issue here. My root password works only once, and as soon as I log out, it ceases to function. Subsequent attempts to log in come back as ‘login incorrect’. I have to drop back down into single-user mode and reset the password to get back into root.
While I can successfully reset the root password when needed, this single-use nature is untenable in the long haul.
Running WHM on this machine, FYI. Been experiencing a sustained hack attempt as of late (280+ CPHulk alerts within the last 24h). CPHulk and LFD are both set to a very paranoid level, all account passwords are GRC-generated and min. 32 characters long.
