ftp and tcsh with hp-ux 10.20

[Thomas Lepach]

hi,
my problem is that i think hp-ux has a problem with the tcsh!
on my system a hp c3000 and a hp j5000 with hp-ux 10.20 there is no chance that a user with default tcsh in his passwd is able to make an ftp to the other hp machine.
the error msg is:

Name (hp3:lepacht): lepacht
530 User lepacht access denied.
Login failed.

with the csh it is no problem.
does exist soe patches for the tcsh so it will wotk with hp-ux? i have the tcsh version 6.09.00 from the liverpool archive.

thanks for your help thomas

put an entry for tcsh in /etc/shells.

Should solve your problem.

Hi Thomas:

Joseph is correct. Add the full path name ( /usr/bin/tcsh ) to /etc/shells. *BUT*, if /etc/shells doesn't exist, then when you create it, make sure to include the standard shells. Also, declare /etc/shells to be readable by all (chmod 444). Your complete file should look like this:

/sbin/sh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/rsh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/rksh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/keysh
/usr/bin/tcsh
