Access denied while login

[zsujith]

Hi,

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.

Waiting for your replies.

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.

Login as root and check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file.

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.
