today I find that I cannot get to my email account, I can login via ssh

segmentation faults. I am guessing due to the pam module causing a

BTW - the console also fails to allow login

You'll need to boot into Single User Mode and undo or just check your pam
configuration:

At the GRUB splash screen at boot time, press any key to enter the GRUB
interactive menu.
Select Red Hat Enterprise Linux with the version of the kernel that you
wish to boot and type a to append the line.
Go to the end of the line and type single as a separate word (press the
Spacebar and then type single). Press Enter to exit edit mode.
