Avenues of attack: 1. In single user mode, see if you can manually start netinfo and access the database. Your netinfo database may be damaged. If so you can rename the netinfo directory and let it reconstruct it (you'll lose all your account info, though). 2. Look at /var/log/system.log to see what messages might have come out later on in the boot sequence. 3. Enable telnet and ssh, see if you can telnet in. If not, edit /etc/rc to start up an sshd or telnetd on an alternate port earlier in the boot process. Or even start manually before exiting. 4. enable login on a serial port. Or start a shell on the serial port in single-user mode. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
