The following occured recently: my box has been extremely reliable hardware-wise. SCSI, ASUS MB, very stable. Installed 4.6.2 from iso several days ago, compiled ipf, ipf_log, ipf_default_block. Recently the os has started to behave in a new and unexpected way: I can no longer loggin as regular user, gives me message of login:/usr/local/bin/bash: no such file or directory, even though the file is there and the rwx have not changed at all. I changed shell to /bin/csh and loggin then proceeds wo problem, even though another error message shows up, cannot open /etc/termcap, tcsh: using dumb terminal, and puts me in the / directory. When I try to change into my own home directory I get the reply of permission denied Then, when I type startx, which had always worked wo a problem, I get command not found. I type /usr/X11R6/bin/startx and the response is permission denied. All the directories have the x permission bit set, as does startx. Again, this is something that, up to just very recently, had worked wo any problems. Also, I had not done anything to the box just prior to any problems starting. Other interesting situations: typing ll as regular user gives me back the prompt but doing ls of directory gives the the expected output. None of the permissions have been changed and my env path has not changed. One last item: when doing rsync to a floppy or zip disk every so often I get a chown <file>: invalid argument message. After looking at man and other sources of info I can't find the explanation for this problem. Thaks in advance for your help. Luis R.
