Cannot login to server running RH6.2
Guys,
I know that this list does not deal with Red Hat Linux issues, but then this
is the most helpful list that I can think of that has good support. The
discussion list on redhat.com sux. Typically I use Debian on my system.
Since this is my company's server...
Ok, here's the problem : I cannot seem to login to my server. When I do a
telnet session, an error message appears :
telnetd: /bin/login: No such file or directory; and immediately it
terminates the session. I FTPed into the server and checked the /bin dir.
and most certainly that file is missing. I tried to even login on the
console itself, and it goes fine for the login but when I press enter, it
returns to the login prompt. I cannot login at all to my system.
How do I install back that login file in to the /bin directory. Where can I
get that file from. The only way that I can login to the system is : linux
single, and that method doesn't start the net connection, and I do not have
my RH Linux 6.2 CDs with me.
What happened to my system. This just popped up out of nowhere. Quite a
few others have the similar problems on RH discussion list, but so far there
is no answer to the questions.
Is this a bug on RH Linux ? or is this a virus, or hacker or what ?
Does this thing happen to Debian ? As far as I have used my Debian system,
it hasn't given me any problems. Only thing slacking is a good
administration tool for it like smitty. :-)
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Saran.
