It is bit hard to describe. I will try list them:

BACKGROUND:

  1. SUSE enterprise 10 sp3
  2. I am using SecureCRT to telnet.
  3. There's two user app and oracle.
  4. I am not in the server room, I can't reboot locally nor remote since I can't get access to root.

PROBLEM:

  1. I can telnet and login as app or oracle, but if I try root, it just hang after I type root and before it prompt for passwd.

  2. After I login as app(oracle), I can su to oracle(app) successfully. But when I try 'su root', it hang after I type the command and passwd.

So there're two problems in total. Does anyone know anything about it?

  • I don't quite familiar with these remote login thing. I tried ssh on the other server and works fine. but on this server it stop when requesting new channel. So I guess something wrong with the settings and turn to telnet. Telnet works yesterday. Today it just have this root login problem.

If you have sudo set up, then you could check out what is in root's .bash_profile, .bashrc, and other related startup files. If something is not wonky there, then I would check out your pam stack and see if something is up with that.
