Thanks to all who replied.  The problem was indeed a missing link.
In addition, someone had hacked up the /etc/rc file also.  I just
copied it from another machine with a virgin /etc/rc and everything
was fine.

I have since changed the root password, and not given it to anyone.  The 
students screwed themselves.  Now they must suffer!

Thanks again everyone,

..Sal
