I recently did a "kill -9" ( from root ) on a shutdown process, and after
that none of the normal users could log into the system.

It said: login: /bin/sh: Permission denied.

I could not find any changes to permissions of dirs or files so I was
forced to do a re-install.

I am using FreeBSD 2.2.5.

Is this a documented bug of FreeBSD 2.2.5 ???


Thanks & Regards, Brendan...

P.S. - Is it a bad idea to kill processes from root ???
