Subject: Can't log in as non-root...

Gidday all,
Sorry if this question has been asked before but I can't find it, but I
can't log in as root anymore. This happened AFTER I tried symlinking
libc.so.4 to libc.so.4.2. The error I get is :-

login: sync
-sync: can't load library '/lib/libc.so.4'
       Permission denied

OR

login: user1
-bash: can't load library '/lib/libc.so.4'
       Permission denied

I've tried chowning libc.so.4 to bin.bin or root.other (currently it's
root.root) but it makes no difference. Also, once I've got libc.so.4.2
done, can I delete libc.so.4.0 and libc.so.4.1??

Thanks in advance...
