Hi,

I'm suddenly unable to log into my desktop machine (dit.mit.edu), debathena=
 workstation running Precise, since yesterday afternoon. I get "authenticat=
ion failure" on a graphical login attempt, a ctrl-alt-f1 terminal login att=
empt, and ssh attempts from other machines. I'm able to log into other Athe=
na machines, both locally and by ssh without problems. I'm not sure if or w=
hen an update might have triggered this as I was logged into the machine co=
ntinuously since last Monday.

Has anyone else seen this on beta workstations?

                                                                           =
                 Alex
