(null) as hostname, shell, etc.
I have a fairly simple Debian distrib (mostly hamm) on a computer that I
can't get to physically. Yesterday, when I attempted to login I got
(null) login:
I entered my username and pass then I was disconnected. I have ssltelent
and ssleay installed and was telneting in un-encrypted. Now when i attempt
to telnet in I get the attached error message. If I finger a user (I
changed to somebody to keep some security) I get (null) in the info.
(attached).
The power went out last night where the computer is and I was able to
login. Thinking it was a freak accident I didn't attempt to figure out
what went wrong. The syslog has no errors in it except for Sendmail [some
number]: (null):(null). Anyway, it's happened again! I'm hoping the
power
will flicker (I'm in Mississippi and we've got freezing rain) again so I
can get in. Does anyone what could be going on. I'm know for a fact that
every computer on the network it is on has been hacked in to and the
computer was a target about a week ago, but they seemed unsuccessful.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
