Hello managers:

I have a strange proplem. Some users, on logging in, get a 'No Shell'
message after authentication. We all use /bin/ksh. The users entries at
/etc/passwd are OK.

I have neither /etc/securetty and /etc/nologin files.

Some users can login normally.

To bring users in trouble to a normal status I must remove keeping their
files and directories. After making an adduser, afected users can access
the system normally.

I have already deleted and reconstructed hash passwd files but the
problem persists.

        TIA
