[cobalt-users] unable to login to raq2



Title: unable to login to raq2

Here's an interesting one.
I've suddenly become unable to log in to a raq2 as admin or root.
Unable to access the web control pages for the same reason.
However I have been able to get on as I've got ssh2 set up from another box (phew!).
All is not well though, here are some symptoms...

 [root /root] df -k                                                
 Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on 
 /dev/hda1             495745  243232   252513  1073741924%   /     
 /dev/hda3             198601    8806   189795  1073741924%   /var  
 /dev/hda4            15052375  323532  14728843  1073741923%   /home
 [root /root] top                                                       
 Floating point exception (core dumped)                                 
 [root /root] uptime                                                   
   4:23pm  up 12461 days, 17:47,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

I've tried resetting the password for admin, no luck.
I know I can reset root passwd from the box but I'm not near it at the moment and I'm not convinced it would help.
Nothing unusual in /var/log/messages.
I'm just about to reboot, but I thought I'd run this past you guys first as I've read a lot of good things here previously.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks
