Problems started yesterday. I think when changing permission on root dir. Debian Etch
Root login is no problem. I checked the permission of /etc / /root and set them right according to a debian with same version. Strace of login koenl says where all goes wrong: 3234 fchown32(0, 1008, 5) = 0 3234 fchmod(0, 0600) = 0 3234 rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0 3234 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0xb7dd7708) = 3235 3234 wait4(-1, <unfinished ...> 3235 getppid() = 3234 3235 setuid32(1008) = 0 3235 chdir("/data/home/koenl") = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 3235 chdir("/") = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 3235 write(2, "Unable to cd to \'/data/home/koenl\'\n", 35) = 35 3235 time([1263977226]) = 1263977226 3235 stat64("/etc/localtime", 0xbf89dae8) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 3235 open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 3235 open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 3235 open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 3235 send(5, "<84>Jan 20 09:47:06 login[3235]: unable to cd to `/data/home/koenl\' for user `koenl\'\n", 85, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 85 3235 close(5) = 0 3235 munmap(0xb7f4b000, 4096) = 0 3235 exit_group(1) = ? 3234 <... wait4 resumed> NULL, 0, NULL) = 3235 3234 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- Any idea what to correct? Because of this samba fileserver and bind9 also have problems. Any way to create rescue disk from other debian? i could access that system with rsync from this one.
