I have posted a message to this newsgroup concerning a rebel FreeBSD box that refuses all attempts to log into it. I have checked the password file, and it is working as my dialup customers can still authenticate through RADIUS, but I can not login. This would not be such a problem, but I need to get on the machine to do work on it. To compound the issue, I can restart the machine into single user mode and work on it, but it is my mail exchanger as well as my primary RADIUS machine. Any suggestions, help, wisdom, or rude comments are appreciated. I have already had a gentlemen from Walnut Creek email me, but his sggestions proved insufficent (no fault of his). Thanks in advance for all the help.... Q. Wade Billings AXXIS Internet Services Network Systems Administrator (brain damaged)
