[Sunhelp] Re: Unable to login to system running 2.5.1

[Mike Gracy (Ghost Rider)]

I hope this is me being paranoid, but I would also check other binaries like
su to make sure they haven't been replaced or modified.  There is a
possibility that that system may have been compromised.  Replacing login
with one of your own design is not an uncommon hack.
