    Our master node (SuSE 9.0) was running OK then it had to be turned off. When
    it came up again postfix, cron, nscd, and xdm could not be started. Below is
    part of the relevant messages from boot.msg. As root, the 'ls' command
    on /var/spool gives Permission denied for every single file in that
    directory. What the heck is going on here???
