hi friends!
well, this morning i've gone to run my debian system and i've found an unpleasant surprise: when the system is booting i have got errors in a few services (i.e, error when loading mysql server) and then i cannot login in the Xfree86 session neither as user nor as root!. I think i ve been hacked or i've broke something. Can you help me, please? thanks.
bye

Why don't you give some symtpoms. How can we help if we don't know whats wrong?

sorry, next time i'll try to be more explicit. now, i ve found the problem: i have got my linux over a virtual machine ware and the virtual fixed disk which contains the linux file system has a lot of errors (the most important--> sulogin: cannot open password database) . so, my linux is k.o.
now, i'll install linux in a real hard disk

. thanks. bye
