I am having wierd things happen to my machine. Any help with
these problems I would be greatful. I suspect they're related
problems, as they all happened at once...
1) login and passwd do not work!!
If a user has a passwd, login always fails (Login incorrect) but
never asks for a password.
If I do "passwd", I get:
Changing password for darin
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
The password for darin is unchanged.
But it never gives me a chance to type anything in!
This is most peculiar, as "ldd passwd" shows it only uses libc.so.5,
but I've tried both libc5-5.4.33-7 and 5.4.33-3.
These lines are in /var/log/auth.log, probably from a remote
samba connection. When trying to login normally, auth.log
just says "invalid password", even though one was never asked for.
pam[214]: (other) illegal module type: OTHER
pam[214]: (other) illegal control flag: auth
pam[214]: unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/security/required)
pam[214]: [dlerror: File not found]
pam[214]: adding faulty module: /usr/lib/security/required
pam[214]: (other) illegal module type: OTHER
pam[214]: (other) illegal control flag: account
pam[214]: (other) illegal module type: OTHER
pam[214]: (other) illegal control flag: password
pam[214]: (other) illegal module type: OTHER
pam[214]: (other) illegal control flag: session
(oddly, ftp.debian.org doesn't seem to have source for passwd and login,
so I can't debug them to find out where it's failing)
2) Things don't unmount cleanly when rebooting. I do have autofs running,
maybe this is the new thing that is messing it up.
Is there any way to tell why something won't mount or is busy?
(I tried umount /usr, and it always tells me it's busy, but I'm in
single user mode, "mount" shows it unused, etc)
3) When mounting from an NFS toaster, I get the errors:
Portmap: RPC call returned error 111
RPC: task of released request still queued
RPC: (task is on xprt_pending)
4) Don't know if it's good or bad, but I get error counts when I do
"ifconfig". *Even* for "lo", which should never have errors. Is
this normal, or sign of a problem:

--------
Here's what I did before things started crashing
- I may have done a dselect a week or so ago but never rebooted. I thought
I rebooted, but...
- I started setting up autofs, to use instead of amd. I had problems with
autofs starting, as it kept thinking its mount points were already busy.
So I rebooted
- The reboot failed miserably; turns out that the netbase-3.00 wasn't working
(ldconfig eth0 was giving errors)
- Downgrading to netbase-2.13-1 fixed the network problems and I could log in.
- Autofs seemed ok, so I uninstalled amd.
- Shortly after this, logins stopped working. This happened while still
logged in on one virtual console.
