> Any change to /etc/shells after the upgrade?
As it turns out... Yes.
Discovered this last night, and should have caught it sooner -- it's a
pretty distinct error condition.
Now, why a package upgrade would change /etc/shells and *not* leave a
distinct .rpmsave file behind it, I'm not certain -- but that's more a
problem/misunderstanding with rpm than an honest to pete security issue,
I'm guessing.
*sigh* Thanks for the indulgence, everyone. I'll try and find something
meatier next time. :)
