Hi, Jeff T, Louis, Marrten and all,
Many thanks to all of you for your suggestion.
But unfortunately none of those worked well on that "bad" node I had
to reboot in the end, yesterday evening, in single user mode. What we
suspect to have happened was that the root password was set to
something extremely careless (no password??) for that "bad" node on
Friday evening, the time I complied the profile for that node. Since
the configuration for these systems is done via LCFG, it isn't at all
clear how this error was made. All other WNs were intact even though
they all should have the same password in principle. As far as I can
remember I didn't get any error message the time I complied the
profile.
It's rebooted now and still disconnected from the network.....
Thanks,
Santanu
