I went looking for the Sun login source. On orchid I looked at /usr/source/longnames/_bin/login/login.c and /usr/src/bin/login.c - both only allow root logins if /etc/nologins exists. Maybe /bin/login got rdisted from somewhere else and killed the one on lily that allowed us in? /etc/nologins should not have been empty in any case. But Guy says that lily would still let him in and so I don't understand why. I don't know which login we were actually using - it pointed to the longnames package. I couldn't find anything weird in the passwd file.
