Re: [PLUG] what would cause this...?


Just about a year ago I got rooted (my own dumb fault with a poor temporary password).  
This was actually one of the symptoms that prompted me to investigate further, so you may want to co=

nsider that as well.

Subject: [PLUG] what would cause this...=3F

Prior to our system chase this am...

If you log on, the log on process seemed normal.
but no matter which directory you cd to, if you 'ls' you would get a Segment Fault
if you did a "ps -ef" it would only show you a 3 or so processes (even as root)

But If I ftp'd in, I could ls directories fine.

After our aborted (but partially started) RH 8.0 upgrade, I found a psdevtab file in my /tmp directo=
=
ry
  that was created around the time, I first noticed the problem this am (when I logged in).

Considering our system had been up for 480 something days, I figured a reboot might have been
  in order, when was when all hell broke loose, and it got stuck on the reboot... :(
