Ok....here's what I know....the problem is still here, but we may be
targetting in on the actual problem now.
First, by "login problem" I mean this: you enter your username, you enter
your passwd, it says "Login incorrect". That's all. If you use rlogin
from an account w/ same username as account on the FreeBSD machine, you
get all the way in, execept it dies with some sort of error (I didn't get
to see this first-hand...one of my assistants tried this) about failing to
execute the shell. You also get a setlogin() error.
Ok....at boot-up time this error occurs:
NOQUEUE: SYSERR (root): getrequests: cannot bind: Permission denied
problem creating SMTP socket
This is all in reference to starting sendmail, which does not start. You
can ftp into the machine (non-anon, we don't support anon). You can login
from the x-console. You cannot login from any other terms, including any
of the other 3 virtual consoles.
pstat -T says:
100/552 files
1050 vnodes
4M/43M swap space
I have no clue what this means, but somebody asked.
At this point, I do not think it has anything to do with shared libraries,
the passwd/master.passwd file(s), or the databases. However, something
does seem to be wrong with permissions in certain places, etc. Someone
asked if getty was running -- the answer is "Yes and No." getty is
running for two specific tty's, which weren't the tty's I was attached to
when I was logged-in and looking. However, there is no other tty than
that. A better explanation is this...I'll show you a ps -ax. You will
note that most of the stuff is x-console related as that is the only place
to login from. The three getty's running are for the virtual consoles,
yet you cannot login from them. named does not seem to be running, but it
has not been running from the very beginning.

Some more errors to report are....when trying to do 'w' from any account
other than root I get: /dev/mem: Permission denied. Ok. So, I changed
the permission on that file and then it says /dev/kmem: Permission denied.
Any ideas on that? Probably of lesser important. But, then I ask myself,
what are the permissions on most files in that directory??? I dunno if
they are right. Oh, btw, I have two files, /dev/rsd0.ctl and
/dev/rsd1.ctl. Each one is supposedly 536MB in size, yes I only have a
800MB hard drive. Hello?!? What's up with that???
This is a summary of the many problems I am encountering. Any suggestions
will be accepted gratefully. I need to get this machine up and running in
a stable state as we hope to use it next Fall for many things, and we must
have a reliable machine for those functions.
Thanks for your help and patience!
