Help!
One of machines suddenly stops letting me login!!! Arg!!
Here's the deal:
I get the "Login:" and i can type a username in,
but after hitting Enter, it just wipes clear and comes up with the
Login
prompt again!!... . .
1) I tried the other Consoles (alt-F1, alt-F2, etc.) they do not work.
2) I tried telnetting in, I get the Macine name and stuff, but it stops
short
of displaying the "login" prompt..
3) I CAN FTP into the machine.
4) I CAN nfs mount the Macine.
5) And I can boot into single user mode "linux single" at prompt...
I do not believe i had done anything for this to happen!... . . .
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
I'm Pretty sure it's Running Intel RedHat 5.2, but might be 5.1...... .
. .
I compared binary sizes of the inetd files, "logind" etc... .
didn't notice anything...........
I also Checked the password file & Group file, all looks good!!!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
