Some one could have hacked into your freebsd box and started it in single user mode So no one /home/username can log in From memeory There is a file called /etc/fstab with a list of the partitions Just try use the mount command to mount the partitions Then run fsck. Hopefully if you restart your freebsd box everything should be fine On Tue, 30 May 2000, James A.
