    I got the same problem. You just can't login with root...
    But with SSH, you can login as root with the password of "alpine"

    I think it's because of the permission on Terminal itself...

    install a thing called the SUID Lib fix, look for it in installer and if you can't find it, look up the repo.

    yes, these are totally different things though. Did you install the SUID Lib fix?

    I am in the same boat, installed all the fixes that have been suggested, but when i try to login via terminal it keeps showing up as incorrect password. I have been trying to set permissions for folders but it keeps saying operation not permitted. i even went so far as to uninstall and reinstall the fixes.

    I guess it was a bad idea to post real problems while 2.0 is being released :D
