We're having a problem when bash (1.02) is installed as the login shell: ftp refuses any logins from a remote system with the message 'user jes access denied, Login failed' (SunOS 4.0). Does ftp not recognize bash as a valid shell, or did I miss something in the installation? Hopefully this is just my ignorance again. <Joe -- Joe Smith University of Pennsylvania jes@mbio.med.upenn.edu Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics (215) 898-8348 Philadelphia, PA 19104-6059

Edit /etc/shells to include the pathname of the bash binary that you are
using as a login shell. If /etc/shells does not exist, make it. Here
is what it looks like on my machine:
----------------------------------------
File: /etc/shells
----------------------------------------
/bin/csh
/bin/sh
/usr/gnu/bin/bash
