unable to log on as root...
I do not know what happened, I suspect foul play, but, now that I try to log onto my TRU64 UNIX system as root I get login: no shell, no such file or directory. Is there a way to get the shell link re-etablished or is it a corrupt shell.
Thanks,
Anthony

Re: unable to log on as root...
Try to login from console vs. network.
Test login from root rather than as a user.
Test login as a different user.
Test su access if a user can login.
Use fverify(8) against OSFBASE to see if permissions are OK.
Questions:
If NIS is being used, can this be isolated to NIS users ?
Is C2 (Enhanced security) being used?
Things to check:
Check logs after each test, is the error the same or different ?
Check /usr/adm/sialog if it exists.
Check audit logs( if applicable)
Check Accounting (also if applicable)
Check the login files specific to that shell, such as /etc/profile and .profile (if ksh/sh)

Re: unable to log on as root...
How/where? Local workstation keyboard?
Serial port? Telnet? rsh? ssh?
> [...] as root [...]

Normally, "root" is in the local passwd file,
and the local file is searched before the NIS
data. Problems with /etc/passwd or
/etc/nsswitch.conf (or whatever) could
violate this expectation, of course.
Does single-user mode work better?
