Berkeley Math. Department. Lines: 28 Message-ID: <1qlns8$i3n@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: asparagus.berkeley.edu Keywords: login, csh I've just installed the binary distribution on my computer. I edited the master.passwd file via vipw, to add some under-privileged users with passwords, and everything worked fine. Except today I tried logging in as one of those users, and got: /bin/csh: Permission denied and ended up back in login. I logged on as root, and that worked fine. I checked the necessary permissions, and everything LOOKED ok. I tried to su to another user, and got su: /bin/csh file not found I tried switching to a different shell (sh), with the same results. I've fooled around with groups and permissions, to no avail. I'm afraid that this is just some stupidity on my part... And if it explains anything, yesterday my system was accidentally shut off in login without sync-ing or halt-ing. ANY help would be appreciated. -Itai Zukerman -zukerman@math.berkeley.edu
