Hide Forgot
Yesterday's rawhide sync killed dhclient here and as a result I lost the network. Since all users are in ldap+krb+nfs home this means they could not be used. However root is *not* a network user, it's a local one exactly for this reason (ie fixups when network is AWOL), and it saved the day in the past. This time the root account was dead. I had to restart in single mode, and switch the eth entry to fixed address, then restart network before root was allowed to log in again.

Dan, would you look into this? I suspect it has something to do with the SELinux patches.
Maybe, but SELinux should be turned off if they are not running a 2.6 kernel with a loaded policy. What is being reported in /var/log/messages?
Well, obviously I didn't test killing the box every day since I filled this bug;). I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow when I have access to the system.
Created attachment 97049 [details] Full non-network /var/log/messages boot log
I reproduced it today after a new rawhide sync (since dhcp was fixed I yanked the network wire). Attached is the full /var/log/messages for this boot. Local root login was attempted thrice, but does not even seem to be registered in the logs.
I don't think this is SE Linux. I think it's the long-standing problem with the pam auth file. In other words, this is a dup of bug #55193, from 2001-10-26. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55193 ***
