Re: RHES4 box does not prompt for password after entering login id at console

[sunhux G <sunhux@xxxxxxxxx>]

Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Fx   where x is one of the numbers,

I got into another virtual console which showed the message:

SCSI0 (0:0) : rejecting I/O to offline device

Is the above message related to the login issue?

I've just managed to login to another Linux box on the same subnet

& tried "ssh -v a_userid@problem_Linux_box_address" & the remote

connection was closed, screen display is as follows :

[root@svrname ~]# ssh -v myuserid@xxxxxxxxxx

OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003

ping to the problem box is Ok

I have a Dell 1850 box running  RHES4.6 with Tomcat 5.5.17

After entering root at the login: prompt, the console screen clears

& it's back with the login prompt again without prompting for 

password.

I would not want to reboot this box if possible as it's production.

Haven't tried ssh into it yet but anyway, I only recall there's root

login id in this box, there's no other login id & since it's a hardened

box, I can't ssh into this box using root.

any other idea?

There's no alert from the monitoring tool (which usually we'll get if

the filesystem or memory utilization or CPU exceeded the defined 

thresholds or ping fails to this box).

TIA
