I have a problem with a machine I'm supporting. I foolishly
restored some accounting files into the root directory by mistake and
now the normal users can't get into the system, they get a 'No shell'
message before /etc/profile executes. Users who belong to the group
id of '0' or '1' can do everthing as normal although when I try to
add a new user sysadm bombs with a 'No shell' at the end.
I have checked all the important files like '/etc/group' etc.. and
can find nothing out of the ordinary.
I'm using ISC 2.0.2 on a 25Mhz clone and have had no other problems
untill now.
Help!
Thanks in advance

Check the mode of the following files/directories: / /bin /bin/sh They should be something like: drwxr-xr-x 27 root other 880 Jul 25 18:31 / drwxrwxr-x 2 bin bin 2240 Jul 16 22:10 /bin -rwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 51032 Mar 23 14:31 /bin/sh You will probably find that the problem is with /. -- Conor P.
