I have a very odd and bad problem: I had to shut down my server for 2 days (construction), and now some programs do not work, notably sudo and something in the ppp script....syslog does not notice anything, but i cannot ctrl-c,z, or kill -9 these processes. this makes things difficult as i cant get online with this box. i am using woody/2.4.14-xfs with a home-brewed kernel. I would rather not re-install, but I will, if I must.
I have tried re-installing sudo and the pam libs, but I am at a loss. a reboot helped some things (bind), but not everything. this is all on xfs. thanks for the help. output of plog: Feb 13 04:06:14 lorien chat[942]: ^M Feb 13 04:06:14 lorien chat[942]: PROTOCOL: LAP-M^M Feb 13 04:06:14 lorien chat[942]: ^M Feb 13 04:06:14 lorien chat[942]: COMPRESSION: V.42BIS^M Feb 13 04:06:14 lorien chat[942]: ^M Feb 13 04:06:14 lorien chat[942]: CONNECT Feb 13 04:06:14 lorien chat[942]: -- got it Feb 13 04:06:14 lorien chat[942]: send (\d) Feb 13 04:06:15 lorien pppd[940]: Serial connection established.
