You don't put what has changed (if this ever worked or not, if it did work, what changed), what accounts don't work (all of them, some of them...), if you have console access (because if you don't, and you can't gain any access to run commands, then you might as well physically go to the site to fix this).

Some things to look at (if you have any access): /etc/profile, /etc/.login - these files are used for all accounts (profile for sh and ksh, .login for csh) - it may be where a change was made that is messing your access. Check PATH variables, what SHELL is being used, dates of the shells (as this may be a breakin issue).
