Hello,
Are you getting anything in your system logs?
/var/log
There may be some clues in those logs? Assuming you have a way to view
the logs.
Good luck

Are you still unable to login as root? Have you tried booting
directlyinto single user mode?

Hi Rajiv,
It's Red Hat Enterprise 4, and it's local Authentication. (No Ldap.)
It's
bizarre, really.
After it crashed, it came up, but doesn't recognize any usernames at
all. I
did a repair, and looked at the /etc/passwd file and it was fine. It
seems
the system cannot read from the file. I checked permissions, reset
them,on
that and the shadow file, and still, the system cannot recognize
logons.
Is there a daemon that is used for this that may not be starting up?
Thanks
Anne
