No one can log in

[hp_user_1]

Hi,

No one can log in via ssh, telnet, rlogin or even on the console. Everything was running perfectly fine until a few hours ago. No change has been made.

Any ideas?

[Ron Irving]

Well, first things first. Can you ping the box?

> No one can log in [...]

To what?

"Doesn't work" is not a useful problem
description. Actual commands? Actual error
messages?

Is the system (whatever it is) plugged in?

Do any one is still have login into the box?
Is the server pingable?

Server may be down............!

Thanks

What is displayed on the console? Does it respond if you type in a user name or press the enter key?

ok - from your other thread we know that it's a hpux 11.11 server .... which model?
Do you have physical access to it?
Can you see any error codes?
Can you ping?
If nothing helps .. the last option would be a switch off - short and dirty :-)

When booting up check for error messages.
Maybe disks are/were full or one disk has failed.

Sorry,

The problem is found from the SAP level. Looks like someone with sudo access removed the passwd file. But interestingly, there is no entry for that in syslog.log. All this info we captured from SAP level.

There would not be an entry in syslog.log for something like that. Regardless of what file is removed, it is still just an 'rm'.

I think the user that did this needs some training.......

[Adam Winebaugh]

Wow, someone removed the passwd file. They should be found immediately and their sudo access revoked until they can either explain what happened or they should never get the access back.

[Torsten.]

" someone with sudo access" removed the file?

sudo or su?

I think it was su - consider to use sudo in future...
