Hello Mikkel,
I was wandering if you could help me with that problem.
I ran pm -Vh, and here is our previous conversation in case you forgot it :

Normaly, corrupt script files will have strange charactors in them.
They are easy to spot because the rest of the file will be readable, and
then you hit a spot that is jumbled. Or the will will be unreadable.
If the files are readable, assume they are correct for now. The next
step would be to run "rpm -Va" and see what errors it reports. If it
lists files in /lib or /usr/lib that are changed, then that is where the
problem is. This is going to be an interesting problem to try and fix
over the net...

Hello,
I ran rpm -Va and a got a couple of files in that listing, and here is a
couple:
/etc/services, /usr/local/lib, /dev/log, /dev/pts, dev/tty0123456,
/usr/sbin/in.fingered,
/etc/inittab, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, /sbin/ifconfig, /etc/inted.conf,
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet,
/usr/sbin/syslogd, /bin/login, /usr/crontab
My major concern is modification of /etc/login file, since it is an
executible. i ran it and it hung. Could this be the problem, and if yes, how
could I replace it with a normal script ?
Sorry to bother you, but if you could help me here I would greatly apreciate
it.
Thanx,
Darko
