Well. To follow up, It wasn't the passwd at all. Went up single user after just doing a flip of the switch to turn the machine off. Came up single user. fsck and mount the devices. Did a vipw. checked for oddeties. All looks fine. Made sure that /etc/login.access wasn't all screwy and disallowing console logins or some stupid thing. I rebooted properly this time. Came up ok. loged in as root. Did a cd /etc and got an error saying. cd: RESTRICTED and didn't allow me to change directories. As if I were running bash -r or something. The last little ouch is that none of the other system users are noticed by the system at all. Even as root trying to do a passwd <user> fails telling me there is no such user. This is very telling. I'm not entirely sure how at the moment as I am getting a nice radiation tan from sitting in front of this monitor so dang long today. Oh well, geuss I can be glad it was a test machine. Any pointers out there are appreciated.
