tlug: Master of my domain no more...

[Sean Bennett <sean@example.com>]

I could use some help here...

I'm su, but I ain't "master of my (RH5.1) domain"...

Today, /sbin/shutdown -r now and /sbin/shutdown -h now have
no effect.  When I give these comands, I get the usual
"System Going Down Immediately" messages,... but thats it.
I get my command prompt back again.

Here are some specifics, if someone could give me some hints
on where to start digging to find out what went wrong:

a) System was running find last night when I left.

b) Today, Xwiindows was frozen. So I thought I'd reboot. No
Go.

c) From a terminal window on my Win98 box, I can login as
"sean" and then become "su", but I can't login as "root".

d)I was a good boy last night, didn't drink too much, and
brushed my teeth and said my prayers before bed... what's
going on?
