I have run into a very strange problem. Yesterday at about 10:15am something broke and no one can log into the system but root. The most common messages are: Jun 6 12:29:03 prioris /kernel: Jun 6 12:29:03 prioris inetd[63616]:_secure_path cannot stat /nonexistent/.login_conf: Permission denied inetd[ ]: cannot execute /usr/libexec/fingerd: Permission denied prioris login: _secure_path: cannot stat /etc/login.conf: Permission denied prioris login: _secure_path: cannot stat /path/to/homedir/.login_conf: Permission denied. I cvsuped sources, recompiled the kernel and the problem persists. I checked all of the file permissions, everything seems to be OK. I run cap_mkdb. When I try to log as a normal user I receive the message: alpha% ssh prioris -l gregory -v [skipped] gregory@prioris's password: debug1: ssh-userauth2 successful: method password debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: send channel open 0 debug1: Entering interactive session. debug1: client_init id 0 arg 0 debug1: channel request 0: shell debug1: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 16384 debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0 debug1: channel 0: rcvd eof debug1: channel 0: output open -> drain debug1: channel 0: rcvd close debug1: channel 0: input open -> closed debug1: channel 0: close_read Cannot find root directory <---------------here!!!!!!!!! debug1: channel 0: obuf empty debug1: channel 0: output drain -> closed debug1: channel 0: close_write debug1: channel 0: send close debug1: channel 0: is dead debug1: channel_free: channel 0: status: The following connections are open: #0 client-session (t4 r0 i8/0 o128/0 fd -1/-1) Connection to prioris closed. debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 31 bytes in 0.1 seconds debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 553.2 debug1: Exit status 254 Login from the console: "Cannot find root directory". # uname -a FreeBSD prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #2: Tue Jun 5 20:03:17 CEST 2001 rgregory@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PRIORIS-4 i386 Do you have any clue?
