Hi,

A mystifying problem occurred to our 2.0.34 machine this evening--
telnet, rlogin, rsh stopped working right.  If I telnetted in, I was
greeted with the ususl version name and a login prompt, but once
I typed in the useriD and password, I immediately got logged out
with "connection closed by foreign host."  Rlogin and rsh were similarly
unusable.  Additionally, at the console, I could log in as root but
could not su to any other ID--after entering "su kevin" nothing
would happen-- I would still be operating as root.

A reboot restored normal operations, but I really have no idea what
happened and have to suspect that this could happen again with no
warning.  There were no messages in the /var/log/messages file that
indicated anything abnormal.

Any tips, advice would be helpful.  Thanks!
