Re: bash problem - cannot telnet to my box
I had a similar problem on a Redhat 5.1 system once. I was unable to
login locally or remotely as anything but root. It ended up I had a
file called nologin in my /etc/ directory, once I removed this I could
login. But this sounds like it is a problem more related to your system
not finding a required library.
Good luck.
