Upon restart, the server was complaining about a dirty filesystem - it had a message that /etc/spwd.db is an invalid type (or something). I ran fsck manually (i shld had done it in verbose mode) .. anyway, i think it removed some files in the /etc directory (i believe spwd.db was one of them). After fsck, i rebooted and most (if not all) services were not started bec /etc/spwd.db .. no such file or directory. Now I could not even log-in to our server (invalid password msg). Am I screwed? Or is there a way to log back in and rebuild what was lost? Thanks for your help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
