I think? that this is because of a prblem in libpam.
You can get new copies from:
http://incoming.debian.org/libpam*72-27_i386.deb
Sam Hartman (hartmans@debian.org) should be able to help you get going BUT in
short you'll have to do something like:
reboot system.
at lilo prompt type "linux init=/bin/sh" <enter>
Then bring up networking (/etc/network start)
Grabe the .debs from incomming.
dpkg -i libpam*72-27_i386.deb
sync
reboot
and hopefully that will fix it.
You'll probably want to get sam to check what I've just said.
