The box is set up to authenticate against LDAP, but as I mentioned there were no errors from the syslog output that seemed relevant. I'm probably going to set up a shell on one of the virtual consoles to debug this some more, but thought I might ask if anybody else has seen anything like this. All other services (http and a Sun directory server) start up fine, but I cannot get a shell in multi-user mode. I'd like to avoid a rebuild, but that would not be catastrophic as this box is part of a redundant pair. Anybody got any constructive thoughts on this?
Check your /etc/ configuration files very closely. I did a CentOS 3 upgrade and had my nameserver config eaten (my fault, I had the cacheing nameserver RPM loaded) and my Samba configuration eaten (this one I have no explanation for). My CentOS 4 upgrades have been flawless.
