[Solved] root cannot login

Dear all,

cannot login to a HP unix server using root as well as other logins.

Even root also cannot enter. It seems that they have changed some permissions in /

Any way of recovering the system or getting logged in .

Thanks in advance

How are you trying to log in to the server? Through ssh? You might want to look at sshd configuration file in that case. What error message do you get while trying to log in? Need more info to help you.

Dear Admin,

I get access denied when I login using putty.

Do you have some kind of console (ILO) for that machine ?
Have you tried ftp or telnet as well ?

Obvious things first
- you haven`t changed your windows keyboard locales recently
- sure you have access denied instead of connection timeout ( is ssh working? )
- what about console access is it possible there?

Dear all,

thanks for ur reply..

we are going through ILO only in single user mode. I find that ssh is not running. Is there any way of enabling ssh and see it.

And also while rebooting the server in it is giving some messages like

"can not open module /usr/lib/security/libpam_hpsec.so.1 "

kindly let me know if you have any solutions for this.

Please take a look at the below link from HP community forum. The issue was similar and it got resolved:
HP Communities - PAM load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/sec... - Enterprise Business Community | HP Online Forum

Hope this helps for you too!!
