original question!
Thank to all who answered with sugestions. Their responses are below.
Special thanks to Mr. V.S. Glukhov that pointed out the only thing I had
not thougth about... an extra blank after /bin/ksh at the /etc/passwd.
Below my original question and all responses.

Original question:
-------------------
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

My Addendum:
-------------
Sorry managers:
I forgot to say that the entry att /etc/shell is OK, and that csk, cs
and ksh are all there. The ksh pernissions are OK (755). owner and group
are bin & bin.
Thanks to Mr Dimitoglou that remembered me about this details.
The answers:
-------------
>From G. Dimitoglou
Go in to /etc/shells and add the shell you are using.
George
>From Dan Roscigno
Is /bin/ksh in the /etc/shells file? Also is /bin/ksh owned
by a particular group and only executable by the owner and
group, or is it +x for everyone?
>From V. S. Gluckhov
Look if there is an extra space in the last field of /etc/passwd:
'/bin/ksh ' or '/bin/ksh' ?
VSG
>From Dr Thomas P. Blinn
Make sure that all of the paths used in /etc/passwd are listed in the
file
/etc/shells, exactly as they are listed in /etc/passwd.
>From Roger Picard
Any strange path modifications in .login .profile like a remote
path that goes away periodically?
