your description is too vague to determine the cause of the problem. Most likely your not compromised. changing passwords of accounts is a stupid thing to do if you were to compromise a system as it can quickly alert to your presence. I reccomend booting in single user mode since you say you can login there and check the passwd/shadow files to be sure they are intact, perhaps there is file curroption or something. did anything unusual happen that may of caused this? system crash? some sort of upgrade/software install? do any other people have root access? are you using network authentication such as LDAP or NIS or NIS+ or kerberos? also when logged in during single user mode check the logs in /var/log for anything unusual, the messages log and the secure log is a good place to start. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
