<div>I have a RHEL 5 VM system that will not allow us to login from the console. We have tried to use both a valid user and root, for both of them after entering the username "Invalid Username" (or something like that) flashes and then we are returned to the login prompt. We have also tried booting into single user mode by editing the grub command line. No dice there either. Any suggestions on how to get the system back up?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A couple of things that we have noticed:</div>
<div>1. When the VM boots the system displays a couple of failures most noteably iptables and xinetd.</div>
<div>2. A few weeks ago a co-worker said that he had trouble with the system saying that it was in read only mode.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>John Temple<br><a href="mailto:cjtemple@gmail.com">cjtemple@gmail.com</a><br></div>
