ssh is not working, x forwarding broken, libc fscked

[Aaron Solochek <aarons@andrew.cmu.edu>]

I am running a potato system, and I cannot connect via ssh to it.
Everything is installed, but sshd isn't running.  What exactly do I have
to do to fix this?

Also, I am having a problem forwarding X connections to this same machine,
I am setting all the right variables and "xhost +"ing correctly, but I get
an error saying it can't connect.  This is frustrating.

Now I saw the post about libc, and I assume this is why I cannot compile a
kernel, but my question is this:  Will this be fixed and I can simply do a
update, or is this going to require some intervention on a lower level?
