I have a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box that I can not log into, even from console. I have rebooted into single user mode and found that the owner of inetd may have been changed, but since I have nothing to compare it to, I have no idea if it has or not. What I need to know is the owner and file permissions of inetd daemon and all of it's support files. The problem manifests itself by saying "login incorrect" whenever I attempt to login, regardless it is local or remote. I have rebuilt the password files and databases, verified that portmapper is running, and the weirdest thing is sendmail, pop, and ftp work just fine. But I can not log into the machine unless I go single user mode at the console. Any help would be appreciated as this machine is part of an ISP that I administer. Thanks, Q.
