I'm currently having some problems. Seems that my oracle account in dba group can't login at all. It says "No Directory" everytime I attempted to run "su - oracle".
Just saw a similar thread posted by Muthamilan. Any bright ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Unable to Login Part 2
you want to run pwchk and grpchk to detect any anomalies in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
First thing to check would the existance of the home directory. Also try to search with the search machine here.
Has it ever worked?
greetings,
Michael

Re: Unable to Login Part 2
Ok, I did run the pwck and grpck commands but no anomalies detected. At least, not the ones that I'm looking for pertaining to the oracle uid and its dba gid.
I think the oracle uid should be a local account? How do I find out that it's a NIS user?
Anyway, the /etc/passwd as follows:
oracle:XXXXXXXXX:15:399:Oracle:/prods/oracle:/bin/csh
oratool:XXXXXXXX:16:399:Oracle Tool:/prods/oratool:/bin/csh
The /etc/group as follows:
dba:*:399:oratool,oracle
ls -al of / :
drwxr-xr-x 7 root system 8192 Jul 16 13:45 prods
ls -al of /prods :
drwxr-x--x 12 oracle dba 8192 Jul 17 15:18 oracle
drwxr-x--x 3 oratool dba 8192 Feb 16 2004 oratool

Re: Unable to Login Part 2
usermod -H /prods oracle
usermod -H /prods oratool
It seems that has no sense but this solved the problem for me once (as far as remember).
Or try using the usermod to change the oratool home to another directory, just for test.

Re: Unable to Login Part 2
But the home directories are /prods/oracle and /prods/oratools here. So, the '-H' should reflect that right?
rgds,

Re: Unable to Login Part 2
Then a directory with the username beneath this directory will be used as home. So:
-H DIRECTORY
Means that USERNAME will have a home directory DIRECTORY/USERNAME.

Re: Unable to Login Part 2
I've even tried creating another user called ABK with home directory pointing elsewhere at /ABK. It's primary group is dba but this account also faces the same problem of "No Directory!" whenever I attempted to login or run the su command.
Seems that all other user accounts are affected and face the same problem except root.
Any of you guys know of any more suggestions, pls kindly tell me.
Regards.
BK

It seems that a parent directory permissions restric the access to the home directory.
So, verify that 755 is set for all directories in the path, starting with /.
