All attempts to login to my server now generate "login incorrect" error msgs. This applies to all system logins. Passwords and login names should be correct.. I used a root disk to login to the system and changed the root password to null. This allowed me to login as root when the system was rebooted. I then used passwd cmd to change root password. Even with a new password defined, however, attempts to login as root in another terminal session still generate "login incorrect". Obviously login function has gone south on my server. How can login best be restored? Would this be a symptom of a hack? Thanks. Jerry R.
