Hi, Something strange happened to my Debian system. I can login as an ordinary user and it works normally but when I login as root, it printed out the motd on the screen and said that root has been logged in. A 'who' from another user confirms it. It even told me "no mail for root" but I don't get the command line prompt # and so I can do nothing as root. Su'ing from an ordinary user meets with the same failure. A Ctrl-C will give back the login: prompt. I've used the rescue disk to boot up and checked the .bash_profile, .bashrc and /etc/passwd files and they are all OK. (I upgraded to slink, kernel 2.0.35 from hamm a few days ago.)
Any ideas as to what happened and what is the remedy will be very much appreciated. ST
