[uug] weird solaris problem

[Lars Olson]

Hey everyone, our lab machine (solaris on x86, I believe) is being 
weird.  Its web server and nfs server at least are running just fine, 
but no one can log in.  I tried logging in at the console, and I found 
the screen full of errors that all said

  WARNING: /tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded

The login prompt came up, but no matter what username I try (including 
root) it says

  tmchild: exec service failed, errno = 2

and goes back to the login prompt.  A search on google didn't help 
much-- one page in Japanese, one page that I have no idea what it is, 
and two others that look like someone has the same problem, but with 
only one follow-up suggestion to log in as root.  (Obviously won't work 
in our case.)  Any ideas?

				Lars
