Okay, I'm not sure what I've done this time.  I've been tinkering with Linux
for a few years, so I'm not completely clueless, but I'd appreciate a little
help with this one.

I'm running Mandrake 7.1, and for some reason, no user except for root is 
recognised by login, as you can tell by the 'from' field on this post.  
Instead of e.g. 'chris', I'm just user 501.  Recently I have cut out a few 
services from runlevel 3, although I've done this before with no problems.  

Any help whatsoever at this point would be greatly appreciated.
