Depending upon how your system is set up, the issue could have something
to do with your /home partition, either full, or not mounting. When you
are logged in as root can you get into your /home directory fine?

... ciao:
all of a sudden, i am only able to login as root. this is not something
i was trying to accomplish, and at a loss in figuring out how i did.
anyway.
as a given, login as a valid user, with correct password, terminated
immediately, with a new login prompt. invalid login attempts iterate
until a new session initiated.
ftp, and smtp allowed, telnet fails.
i'm not seeing anything mentioned in the logs with regard to failed
normal user login. i'm at a loss as to where i might start looking.
any thoughts, suggestion would be much appreciated ...
/var/log/message is your friend.
Regards,
Seenu.
