Hi All,

Something very weird has happened and I have no idea why ......

I first new there was a problem when I logged in as root, and couldn't run
any commands .... Nothing was recognised ... Like this -

[root@]> uname -a
uname: not found

Couldn't find the path for any of the commands ... Then I noticed that
there are no groups in the ls command -

[root@]> ls -al
total 714

It shows the owner, but no groups ...... Can anyone point me to why this
would have happened and how I fix ?

Thanks in advance
