Hello managers,
When users try to login via telnet they initially manage to login, then
almost immediately after the login (/etc/motd) messages they bomb out
with "connection closed by foreign host" message.
If you try an rlogin it gives you a "no directory" message".
If you try an "su username" it gives you a "no shell" message.
If you try an "su - username" it gives you a "no directory" message.
What the hell is happening. There was no /etc/shells file so we
recreated it manually with the right permissions and ownerships.
We have tried adding brand new users(with unique uids and all that) with
adduser and then trying again. No luck. The /etc/passwd file seems just
fine. Also checked that all the shells are there! By the way root can
login fine! Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Paulo
