Great ! This list always force me to think I am the odd man out to solve
small-small problems like this one.

The unanimous answer was " /var Filesystem Full " and indeed it was. But
even after making space in /var didn't resolve the problem. Some of the
answers said to "cat /dev/null > /var/adm/utmp & utmpx " and this worked. I
don't know why ?

Thanks A Lot to everybody who took time to answer such a silly question.
Too many names to mention.

Thanks Again.

Amit Mohan
