I have been having some extremely strange problems with one of my BSDi
systems today, and was wondering if anyone could help.
	About 8:00 this AM, the maching rebooted a la hardware stray
interrupt.  Since then all users have been unable to log in (remote or
on console.):

Trying 127.0.0.1...

Login incorrect
login: 

ftp works fine, rcp and rsh work fine, but telnet and rlogin do the same
thing.  But wait, there's more....
	I tried to ftp to ftp.bsdi.com to get some patches and after my login
(anonymous) I got:

530 - Login Incorrect
 ftp login failed Password Password: is not valid

Any Ideas?
