I'm sorry if I've already sent a similar message, but I haven't seen it so
I can only assume it wasn't sent.
My RedHat 6.2 machine suddenly does not recognize any of it's users. If I
log in as user I get '/etc/profile permission denied'. It accepts the
login. Whoami results in 'cannot find username for UID XXX'. Root login
seems to be ok.
My font server won't start. It croaks with 'xfs error: fatal: couldn't
read config file.'
I've tried to start it manually, same result. I've copied a known good
config file from another install, same result.
I booted to my other install (separate hard drive) and that seems ok except
when I type su and give it the password, it takes a long time to accept
it. Same thing when I exit su.
The machine worked normally until this morning. I installed portsentry
which went smoothly at which time the thing went batty.
Yesterday while reading my mail in Pine, I got a flash of a message about
'unprotected memory' or something like that, it went away before I could
really focus on it. I then found a directory in my /home/user called
'.gnupg' which to the best of my knowledge I did not put there. I removed
it.
Does this make sense to anyone?
