Could anyone tell me what could possible cause a server to not allow logins from the console or anywhere else for that matter ? I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2 and i have it set up as follows: Server ====== Pentium 166 w/64 RAM Western Digital 2 GB SCSI UW Adaptec 2940 UW ATI 2MB Video Asus MB 3Com Etherlink III Network Card Software ======== Web Server - Apache 1.2.4 Samba 1.9.17p2 NIS client DNS NFS client SCO emulation enabled This server works fine for a few days then all of a sudden i cant log in and none of my users can log in. I cant even log in at the console. When the server boots it seems to stall on sendmail and httpd. The only way i can log in is when i boot up in single user mode. Then i run fsck and reboot. It still stalls on me. I can find anything in the log files to indicate what might be happening. Anyone have suggestions ? I am really thinking of switching to Redhat because of this. thanks in advance td
