I was wondering if anyone else has run into this and can point me in the right direction. Tonite I was woking on my server and removed 3 users from the web server that had ftponly access. I removed the domains from the httpd.conf file, removed their directories, restarted apache, removed their entries from sendmail and virtusertable, issued a makemap hash /etc/virtusertable < /etc/virtusertable and restarted sendmail, removed the info from named.boot and the associated db. file, then restarted named I was on a dialup connection and ran top to keep my connection open for about an hour as a regular user (not su) after I made all of the above changes. Then when I came back to work again, I switched to su and started getting this: bash-2.01$ su Password: shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories su-2.01# pwd pwd: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories su-2.01# whoami job-working-directory: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories root su-2.01# cd /var/log cd_links: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories It seems that when I do a cd command, it goes away, but otherwise anything I try to do generates messages like this. What could I have done wrong and how do I fix it? I haven't logged out as root yet because I'm afraid if I do I won't be able to get back in. Maybe a simple log out will cure it?
