Hi Gaurav,
There is no directory called check in the etc directory and
it seems to be that there is no shutdown.allow in my system(i used "locate
shutdown.allow" command)
BTW, i am issuing a reboot command, only after logining(through telnet) as a
normal user and then using su commnad to get the root privilages.
Is is it appropriate to issue a reboot command( as a root only) from a
remote(telnet) terminal
I have not got a chance to check the exit code of e2fsck. next time if is issue
a reboot, i will let u know.

this may hapen because every program which will be running(remotely) starts with
root priveledges and then the
previledges are changed to the user who is telnetting i.e. mr. X.
check /etc/check shutdown.allow file

this may happen because you may have e2fs super block corrupted which e2fsck
detects
when you run it ( based on flags)
and corrects it as it has backup of blocks making super block.
check the exit code of e2fsck and try to figure the error using the man page of
e2fsck.
-y option disables human interfernces to allow the linux to work on its own
ways.

this rebooting checks for the flag and does a forcibly fsck.
and everything runs fine again.

most probably your super block is corrupted, try to analyse the exit code of
e2fsck.
