Dec 7, 2012 10:22 AM in response to gianicby BobHarris,What protocol? VNC (screen sharing), AFP (file sharing), SMB (Windows CIFS/SMB file sharing), ssh (remote command line login)? Other?
Do you have other accounts on the Mac mini? Have you tried any of those?
For the protocol in question, does the Mac mini System Preferences -> Sharing -> xyz service -> permissions section allow access?
Have you looked in the /var/log/secure.log ?
The /var/log/system.log ?
Looking for any related messages at the time the connection attempt was made.

Yes, the other account connects fine.
Yes, access is allowed.
Have not looked at secure.log or system.log, don't know what they are or how to get to them.

Dec 7, 2012 11:13 AM in response to BobHarrisby gianic,system.log has lines like:
server AplleFileServer[710]: received message with invalid client_id 2534
and late comes out with:
server servermgrd[39641]: PAM: Unable to authenticate.
server emond[97]: Host at 127.0.0.1 will be blocked for at least 15 minutes
that repeats several times.
in secure.log I can't tell if previous attempts are there, but I tried again after making note of time stamp and nothing is added to it for almost an hour.

Dec 7, 2012 12:20 PM in response to gianicby Neville Hillyer,I would expect difficulties with Root rather than root but this may depend upon the disk format used.
I only have Leopard and Tiger and don't recall ever being able to use AFP with root.
