|    What happened?
| 
|    I installed linux v2.0.34 about a month ago. Everything was working 
| fine. In fact, everything is still being served by apache just fine, but 
| my telnet sessions get as far as logging me in, telling me that i have 
| new mail and then closing the connection!
| 
|    Even from the console i can't log in as root... same thing, it starts 
| and says i have new mail and closes the connection.
| 
|    I'm trying not to panic. But how can i get back to my system?

Have you tried starting in single user mode? ("linux single" at the
prompt if you use lilo)
