No longer be able to login to console no
LockedI have a Linux box that I was using it for IPCHAINS that I had not touch for a few months (I did not change configuration nor adjust rules on the firewall) but since yesterday it will not allow me to telnet to it. But since I was log into the console as root I tried to switch to another console using [ALT F3] and longin to the console it also fail. I when back to the main console to create a “temp” users and password to login and it also fail. When I type who on the only console session I have left it act like it does not see any session alive.
It also does not know which run level it is in according to the log for the cron jobs.
I then it down to restart but know I cannot log into it anymore.
This is Linux 6.0 and I encounter this problem once before but I though it was a hard disk problem so I change the hard disk and reinstall from crash. But this time I need to know what to do because I can not afford the time to rebuild the entire system.
Can someone tell me what I should to troubleshoot this pro
