Title: can not access server-manager
Post by: farsh on June 28, 2006, 11:22:43 PM

I have an e-smith 6.0 with updates now for over a year, few weeks back I noticed that I can not login at the console, somehow the root password and the admin password was either corrupted or hijacked,
the http sites however were working fine. but the access to the server from my workstation through LAN was not working either.

So, I rebooted the server, at the sme prompt  I did ctl-x and managed to change the root and admin password to what it was before.
that allowed me to login to console, as root or admin , but still can not access the server through the server-manager, or ssh using the root or the admin ?? !!
I am thinking of upgrade to 7. but I do not think it is a good idea now. ?
specially if there is a virus there ? I had antivirus loaded.
yum-1.0.3-6.0.7.x.esmith.noarch.rpm

Did you look in the error log files of the httpd and httpd_admin daemons? There might be a clue there.

Does installing 7.0 resolve this problem?

Upgraded to 7.0 , still can not login to server manager or use ssh over putty via lan.

I saw this in the log when trying to go into server-manager:

[Client 127.0.0.1] AuthExtern Pwauth [/usr/lib/httpd/modules/pwauth]: Falied(1) for user admin.
