When I am on the x-console as root, I try to open an xterm window -- it
opens, but immediately writes to that xterm the message:

xterm: Can't execvp tcsh

What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Next...I can telnet out of the machine.  I can ftp (non-anon) in and out
of the machine.  The only problem is when you try and login to the
machine. You type your username.  You type your password.  THEN it tells
you "Login incorrect."  However, you know for a fact that the computer is
full of crap because you just logged-into the same account with the same
username and password from the x-console 2 seconds earlier.

So....let's go into debug mode....I need/would-like-to-know exactly what
happens when you telnet to a machine and try to login.  I want to what
gets called from where, what kind of mesgs. are passed/received, etc.
This is where the hang-up is.  I would like to get into the nitty-gritty,
ripping this thing apart.  I absolutely cannot afford to rebuild this
machine from the ground up, including readding users.  I do not have that
kind of time.

Thanks for any and all of your help!
