Since my 3.0 machine is several thousand kilometers away, we have the
serial console enabled, and plugged inot a port on a Portmaster 2e
terminal server...all of a sudden, it won't allow me to login anymore,
even thogh I can 'see' the boot sequence and any error messages on teh
screen:
FreeBSD (hub.org) (ttyd0)
login: root
Password:Login timed out after 300 seconds
FreeBSD (hub.org) (ttyd0)
login:
The password I type is correct, as I can 'su' in a shell using the
same one...it just doesn't let me login through the console...
I haven't changed ayting, that I'm aware of, but it definitely used to
work...:(
Any ideas as to where I should look? connections through ssh work right,
and all services (httpd, smtp, etc) all appear to be working correctly...
