Hello Pedro
at Sep 9 21:49:50 njin kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.
rebooted the system for not working login, the error is this:
Sep 9 21:49:06 njin unix_chkpwd[1935]: password check failed for user (njin)
Sep 9 21:49:06 njin xscreensaver: pam_unix(xscreensaver:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=:0.0 ruser= rhost= user=njin
Sep 9 21:49:07 njin xscreensaver[1407]: FAILED LOGIN 1 ON DISPLAY ":0", FOR "njin"
Sep 9 21:49:18 njin unix_chkpwd[1937]: password check failed for user (njin).
The same password, with ascii characters, works at startup.
Thanks
Fabio
