Does anything useful appear in the /var/log files generated by syslogd? I hope you didn't log out of the root account yet... -- I'll be in Denver from 30 Oct 1998 to 7 Nov 1998 (or maybe a few days longer). I'll be in London from ~9 Nov 1998. I'd like to meet any Linux users or users groups in these places at these times. I plan to work in London for 3 - 6 months...

Have you solved this one yet. Just to re-iterate: Can log in as normal user. Cannot log in as root (except in single user/maintainace mode). - this includes su-ing to root. The machine just sits there after a root login, no messages, nothing. Cannot connect to the machine (from localhost or from other puters on the network). What is going on???
