init: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
 

Hi everybody! I'm a new Linux user, currently i'm having problem while i try to boot up my system with RedHat 9 installed. there are 3 errors msg while booting up:

Starting sshd: /usr/sbin/sshd: error while loading shared libraries.: /libkrb5.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or direct [FAILED]

Starting sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail: error while loading shared libraries: libgasapi_krb5.so.2: cannot open shared object file :No such file or directory.

Starting cups : cupsd : error while loading shared libraries: libgasapi_krb5.so.2 : cannot open shared object file. : No such file or directory.

RedHat Linux Release 9

init: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

I need to go back to the graphical mode, is there anybody can help me on this? thanks!

oops! forgot to add on. when i saw the msg: init: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes, the entry level is 5. then i edited the inittab to chang the entry level to 3.

the errors for sshd, sendmail and cups are caused by the programs not finding the kerberos libraries on your system, check the configuration files for these services you may be able to turn kerberos support off if you are not using it also check that you have the krb5-libs package installed.
The init error is caused by your X Windows System (Graphical environment) not starting up correctly, in run level 5 the X Windows System is started up on boot by the init process, init is configured to relaunch the X Windows System when that process ends.
init has been unable to lauch X and has kept trying to relaunch it, init is clever enough to detect this and says I am going to wait five minutes before trying to launch X again.
I mostly see this with an incorrectly configured X Windows System, try looking in the logfile /var/log/xfree86.log (unsure on name of logifle on RedHat 9) look for the lines that start (EE) and (WW) should give you some clues.

hey thanks lurker79. with your help, i have solved the problem. there are some files missing in the kerberos libraries. after i copied the files offer, the system work fine.. thanks a lot. :)
