I have a Redhat 9 system that I can't access. The system was starting to act very sluggish and I couldn't umount a smb share. So I decided just to give it a reboot. Shutdown seemed normal but when it came back up it forced a disk check saying the disk was not clean. Then it wanted me to run fsck to fix errors, which I did. Now the system comes up but the only access I have is through a smb share. Just to reboot it I had to modify crontab and add the shutdown command. -I can't login at the console, but I don't get any errors. Won't even prompt me for password. -ssh fails to load: sshd: RSA1 key generation failed -webmin starts but is not accessible. Get a perl execution failed error. -vncserver: vncserver start failed -and I also see this in messages: su: PAM _pam_init_handlers: could not open /etc/pam.conf su: PAM pam_start: failed to initialize handlers su: PAM pam_end: NULL pam handle passed su: su: incorrect password Any suggestions where to start resolving these issues?
