Okay, some progress. I managed to login as root. I think I was just logging in at the wrong place. Checked /var/log/messages. From there I found out that the sequence of messages leading up to the error was:
1. Jun 23 18:09:07 localhost kde3 (pam_unix)[12697]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) 2. Jun 23 18:09:07 [22437]: warning: can't get client address: transport endpoint is not connected 3. Jun 23 19:09:07 localhost xinetd[22437]:libwrap refused connection to sgi_fam from <no address> 4. Jun 23 18:09:07 localhostrc: stopping kheader succeeded The last 3 messages loop over and over with changes in the numbers but identical otherwise ( I tried to reproduce the messages as closely as possible, but they may vary slightly). These messages repeat until I reboot the system. Can any one decipher these and explain what is happening?
