[SOLVED] NFS Client doesnt prompt for a password ..

[chet_geek]

hey all,

i hv been facing this prob for quite sumtym now . i hv set up an nfs client which mounts the nfs from my lap ( server ) , but when i start the client , it starts all the services and then prompts for login id as

localhost login:

here when i enter the id as root it doesnt prompt for a password and hangs there .
I am not able to understand what the problem is ...

It looks like a case of wrong pam configuration, There may be other reasons but PAM misconfiguration is the most prevalent.
Post the configuration of /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/system-auth here
