Thanks,

What's his entry look like in /etc/passwd?

Is he using telnet, rlogin, ssh, ftp? What's his procedure? Paste in the error after you try to login.

From root, can you su -?

[Shivkumar]

Michael, He is using telnet. I can $su - hisid. Regards. Shiv

Need to see the /etc/passwd file.

[Michael Steele_2]

And the permissions on his /home/id dir.

ll -la /home

[Shivkumar]

Permission is also setup correctly. Thanks. Shiv

Check to see if the login says connected or not. Verify the telnet port 23 is open. Check the security on telnet for non root users.

/etc/securety
/etc/security/access.conf

PAM, LDAP, SSH?

Still need to see /etc/passwd entry for his account.

[Shivkumar]

/etc/passwd entry for this user is correct. I have verified this with other accounts. Regards. Shiv

Could u check the user's profile ? maybe there is something in profile can not be run normally

did you try to login as him instead of su'ng to his id. Check syslog and what it says?
