Your question is confusing....
Smilie

Anyways...Are u getting a login prompt?? If not, check if the telnet daemon is started on the server on not.

If yes, & after giving user/pass you are not able to login, then probably some problem with user id etc....

You need to boot your machine with a boot disk. If you do not have one, you can create one using Toms Root Boot. --Link-- Once you boot with Toms, mount your root partition and check to see that your /etc/passwd file is ok (i.e. you havent deleted or messed up your login entry). At the very least you will get access to your drive and you can poke around a bit.

If bache_gowda is using the same account when "connecting to the red hat linux" and when doing the ssh, then the password file would not be corrupt.
(bache_gowda needs to inform us if he/she is using the same account or not for these attempts to login)

Bache_gowda - answer the following please:

When connecting to RedHat server from Windows - what are you using (telnet, ftp, ...) ? What account are you attempting to login in as (if you get any prompt at all)?

When you write "i am unable to login to server, after giving username at login prompt cusor blinks, no respnse", was this trying to login on console to the RedHat system? If not, what was it?

"I can able to login to server thro ssh" - where are you coming from with ssh, what account did you use? Same account as the other attempts (from Windows and console)?

Bache answers,
I am using telnet and ftp both, When i am using telnet i won't get login prompt. cusor blinks.

When i am using ftp, i will get login prompt, but i am giving correct username and password. but it will say's login incorrect.

In console at login prompt i am giving username but cusor blinks, It is not asking password.

In ssh from windows m/c i used both root and normal user. I can able to login.

I notice login file owner and group changed to ordinary user like
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bache bache 17740 Jun 20 02:05 login

I am unable to change the file owner and group, Getting the error like
chown: changing ownership of 'login' : Operation not permitted


Thanks
Bache Gowda
