: Computers are deterministic machines. Nothing happens 'all of

"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."
perhaps, in context, 'all of a sudden' makes more sense. CLEARLY, my
problem is the direct result of something i did. not to make too fine a
point of it, it is possible to make a configuration change, and have the
results of that change, show up much later. its appearance seems
'sudden' and the 'root' cause, may not be immediately obvious.
i would even hazard the observation that a cron event, 'sudden'.
: See if setting a user's shell to something else (csh, ksh, zsh, ash)
: makes a difference.
changed to 'csh' with same result.
: And I hope to got you're using TLS on smtp.
i am at a complete loss in understanding 'how' TLS relevant.
: Which logs have you checked so far?
syslog*, kernel*, messages*, wtmp*, btmp, secure* ...
