This looks good. Also, there was some discussion earlier about whether
you have TCP/IP installed or not. I believe you do, otherwise when you
do the ifconfig, I don't think you would have the lo interface. I
could be wrong about that, however.

This may or may not be a problem. It just depends on what is being
configured and rejected. Again, If you could send a copy of the entire
log for a login attempt it would be much easier to see where the
problem is. As the next best, let me send a copy of the log as it
shows up on my system and you can compare. Note that I have X'ed out
the password :-)

This is from a couple days ago with the debug option turned on.
