Hangs on login authentication

I have zoneminder on 3 different systems using Fedora 8. At about the same time in the last week or so, I have been unable to log into zoneminder on any of the 3 computers. It comes up to the log in screen. When I type a correct username and password it just hangs saying Logging in. It will do this for days and never proceed. I finally gave up and reinstalled one system from scratch with Fedora 9. As soon as I got everything up and running on zoneminder, I restarted it. This one hangs as well.

Apparently there is something in one of the updates but I don't know where and don't know which file I can edit to take away the user authenication to try and see if the problem is with zoneminder or the authentication only.

Right now I have 3 computers that I can't log into.

Which file can I edit to turn login authentication off?

Same problem. Hanging on the login in screen. Debian zm 1.22.3

There are some will known authentication problems in 1.22 with any kind of encrypted auth. You might try plane, or 1.23 for a solution.

For this version of ZM you need to build with OpenSSL for Authentication to work properly. There are options in the newer versions to use either OpenSSL or gnuTLS.

Can I remove the authentication without logging in?
