We have a very strange problem with our BSDI 2.0 set up. One day, users 
couldn't login and when we attempt to su any user on the system, we get a su: 
/bin/tcsh: Access denied error message. Only root is able to login to the 
system. Sendmail also reports that "system is looped back to itself".

Does anyone have any answers to the above symptoms? We are stumped. Thanks.
