Does /sbin/sh exist on the system?. Is it executable?

# cd /sbin
# ls -al sh

What is the OS/patch version?
Did you check if it works with other shells (like ksh)?
Is the system running BASE security?

I think I know what the problem is.

Does these lines (in passwd file) have extra space(s) at the end of the line. If so, remove them. You should be fine.

Hi,

with
grep zxw /etc/passwd | od -x
you can check for illegal characters.

greetings,

Michael

Check the filesystem permissions on / and /sbin.

Always use usermod to change user parameters to avoid non prontable characters on the file that may cause the problem, but if pwck does not reports problems, this should be not your problem.
