After issuing password during my userid login i get "Access denied" message. But other users login work fine. I checcked the directory permission of home etc. Everything looks fine.
Also deleted and created user id again. But the problem persists.

Do you have invalid characters in your password?

Are you logging in from a console or an ssh session?

Hi All,

Find the password entry. It is not a root user, it is a normal user.

xxxxxxx:ULGnX71hG/CxQ:110:20::/home/xxxxxxx:/usr/bin/ksh

When i try to do ssh from a server it gives the below error.

xxxxxxx@aaaaaaa's password:
Permission denied, please try again.

and when i try to login from Putty through it gives "Access Denied" error

xxxxxxx@aaaaaaa's password:
Access denied
xxxxxxx@aaaaaaa's password:

Waiting for your replies.

Regards

Hi,

Can you do a "getprpw -r -m lockout userid"? Does it return all zero's? If it doesn't then the account could be locked.

And make sure the path to your ksh shell is both correct, and in the /etc/shells file. If you are the only one on the machine using ksh, it might not be.

Thanks for your replies. I checked in syslog and found that the userid need to be added in AllowUsers variable in sshd config file.

How many points should I assign to replies?
Every response to your question is eligible to earn between 1-10 points. No need to worry about running out of points - when a truly awesome reply rolls in that deserves a 10, you will be able to assign it a 10! However, be careful to assign points based on the value that a reply truly provides. Use the following scale as a guideline:

o N/A: The answer was simply a point of clarification to my original question

o 1-3: The answer didn't really help answer my question, but thanks for your assistance!

o 4- 7: The answer helped with a portion of my question, but I still need some additional help!

o 8-10: The answer has solved my problem completely! Now I'm a happy camper!

Although assigning points is not mandatory, it is a key component of a strong, interactive community, and it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. Others have taken time to help you, so please take a moment to give them credit for their assistance!
