If any user other than root tries to login, the login process is halted by ... login: /bin/csh: Permission denied I have checked the permissions on both the bin directory and the csh executable; they are as follows ... drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Nov 22 12:01 bin ... and ... -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 225280 Nov 22 12:00 csh This seems to be correct to me. Of course, if it were correct other users should be able to log in, which they cannot do. How can I fix this? Thanks for any help or advice. Frank Ficnar ficnar@ecf.toronto.edu
