I'm running sarge on a fairly reliable machine. Today, for some reason, no one but root can log on to the machine. All of the users are still on the system. Once logged into the system as root, it is impossible to su to one of the users. Also, none of the users who access the system via samba can logon either.
From root, if I try to su I get "No shell", which isnot the case. This shows up in the auth.log

I checked and /etc/passwd looks fine.
I'm totally stumped.
The machine was running 2.6.3, but I upgraded to 2.6.5 in case it was some odd sort of kernel problem -- no dice.
I did update to the latest testing yesterday afternoon; I don't remember what was updated, but it looked harmless. The problem manifested itself this morning.
Thanks,
Richard
