X-BeenThere: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Non technical items related to the community List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2005 03:17:24 -0000 I have a few dedicated servers at a hosting company (about 3 hours drive time away). On one of the systems I ran a 'portupgrade -arR' this morning, and then disconnected (I ran it in a screen session). About an hour later, I realized I could not log in anymore via ssh. Seems that I can connect, but my passwords fail (permission denied). I can't FTP in, or check mail with any username/password combos. Even my preshared SSH keys do not work. When connecting via POP, I get this message: Connected to hostname. Escape character is '^]'. /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc-client4.so.8" not found Connection closed by foreign host. Can anyone help me figure out what may have gone wrong? And even how I might be able to fix it remotely, or walk someone through a fix? Thanks in advance!
