There is no reason why a login session for root should initiate shutdown of services. Perhaps your system and/or 'root' login has been compromised. Use a rescue disk and check the integrity of the installed packages as well as contents of .bash*, .login, .profile files. Also, it is not a good practice to login as root even over a ssh link. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
