System: SunOS 4.1.1c on SparcStation 2 running NIS as a slave server
Problem: Users cannot ftp to machine. Anonymous ftp works fine.
Comments: Just upgraded to a 4.1.1c and we did not have any problems with
ftp before the upgrade. The necessary NIS programs have been
supposed run, but I can't seem to find the problem. Users
can rlogin to the machine with no problem. It looks like
it is simply not looking at the NIS passwd map, but it should
be (I think).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the help out there!! (And sorry for the repeat request....)
The solution was simply to restore /etc/shells The reason I had problems
is that somehow an extra '\' got on the tcsh line and that was what
was causing problems. I knew I had restored the file, but I had not
checked it contents.
Thanks goes out to:
