Crazy!
I am still having the same trouble.
Thankyou to the 4 people who wrote me with ideas,
I tried them all!!
1) I cannot Login. It lets me type my username in, but after hitting
"return"
it clears and gives the same "username" prompt over again.
2) I cannot Telnet in. I get this far:
Trying XX.XX.XX.XX...
Connected to somemachine.ourdomain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
and it hangs right here, never get the "Login" prompt.
3) I can Ftp Fine, and ALL Services are running fine!! Web, FTP,
etc...
4) In order to issue commands i must boot into single user mode "linux
single" at boot prompt.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I have checked many things.
1) /bin/login is correctly moded at 4755
2) /etc/passwd & /etc/group are mode 755
3) thereis no /etc/nologin file
I cannot put my finger on anything i could have done... It feels like
it just "happened"...
Help!! I cannot figure it out! I really do not want to ("Cannot")
reload the machine!!!

Help!
One of machines suddenly stops letting me login!!! Arg!!
Here's the deal:
I get the "Login:" and i can type a username in,
but after hitting Enter, it just wipes clear and comes up with the
Login
prompt again!!... . .
1) I tried the other Consoles (alt-F1, alt-F2, etc.) they do not work.
2) I tried telnetting in, I get the Macine name and stuff, but it stops
short
of displaying the "login" prompt..
3) I CAN FTP into the machine.
4) I CAN nfs mount the Macine.
5) And I can boot into single user mode "linux single" at prompt...
I do not believe i had done anything for this to happen!... . . .
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
I'm Pretty sure it's Running Intel RedHat 5.2, but might be 5.1...... .
. .
I compared binary sizes of the inetd files, "logind" etc... .
didn't notice anything...........
I also Checked the password file & Group file, all looks good!!!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
