"connection closed" message after login

trystan macdonald — Fri, 13 Dec 2002 11:39:29 GMT

Hi,

I have a user who is thrown out straight after logging in. I have checke /etc/passwd and all looks well. This is a 10.20 machine.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
Trystan.

check the initialization file of the user.

.profile for sh and ksh
.login and .cshrc for csh

whether anything like exit or logout is there.
Also check the /etc/profile file of /etc/csh.login file whether there is any script like for restricting the number of user logins.

Thanks

hello,

What shell is listed for his entry?

Look in the user's .profile (.cshrc) for an "exit 0" or "exit 1" or so forth.

Check that ther is a .profile or .cshrc, .login.

Hope this helps

Chris

This could also be for the number of telnet sessions reached its maximum.

You can check the current value of nstrpty on the kernel.

ALso check the number of telnet sessions.
#w|wc -l
should give you the number of telnet sessions.

If they are equal then must increase the value of nstrpty in your kernel.

Thanks

We are using .profile (ksh) and when the user logs in, it gets as far as "checking disk quotas" and then the connection is closed.

If I log in as another user and then "su - username" then I get the follopwing message: Memory fault.

Just check the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file for the errors which can tell you the real reason

Hi Trystan,

Check quota's for user.

# quota -v username

Think he reached his hard limit.

Kind regards,

Robert-Jan.

Hi Trystan,

There's probably a command in that users .profile that's kicking out that memory fault error. Is it creating a core file in the user's home dir?
If so run the file command against it to determine what's causing the core dump.

Rgds,
Jeff

Try commenting out the quotas command in the .profile. This probably means the user is over quota.
