[-- Attachment #1 --] I've searched through the archives and can't find the answer to my problem. I have freebsd-2.2.5 (I'm planning on upgrading) Just a couple of days ago I noticed that I can't login from telnet or the console. When I try to login from the console I get no response after entering my login name (other than carriage returns). No password prompt. Of course Ctrl-C works as it should. When I try to login from telnet to the telnet port, I get the FreeBSD welcome message but no login prompt. Telnetting to port 25 to sendmail seems to work as it should. All other functionality seems to work properly, http, ftp, ping, etc. I know how to get access to my server using -s at boot but I don't seem to find any problems other than my root file system was 90% full. I fixed that problem. I would appreciate any helpful suggestions. TIA Jeff [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content='"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I've searched through the archives and can't find the answer to my problem.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have freebsd-2.2.5 (I'm planning on upgrading)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Just a couple of days ago I noticed that I can't login from telnet or the console.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>When I try to login from the console I get no response after entering my login name (other than carriage returns).
