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.
