Hi Jairo,

Are the directory permissions shown above resident locally on your bck1 server, or do you mount the home directories via NFS ?

Also, on your bck1 server, what is the passwd entry for the operator user ?

the star * indicates that either the account is disabled or that this is a trusted system.

If this is a trusted system could you post

/tcb/bin/edauth -g operator

[Jairo Campana]

yes, my server this in mode sytem trusted

the directory /tcb/bin/edauth no exist

[Jairo Campana]

I, probe:
#su - operator
su: No Shell
Memory Fault

Paul :
yes, the directory resident locally on my bck1 server.

Also, on your bck1 server, what is the passwd entry for the operator user ?
the entry is:

operator:*:114:20:,,,:/home/operator:/usr/bin/sh

the error "No shell" it's very interesting.

What is the content of

the file /etc/shells no exist:

Hi,
have a look at the man page for /etc/shells

"man shells"


create the file, permission 444, and there the full pathname of ksh, csh, sh .


SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells

DESCRIPTION
/etc/shells is an ASCII file containing a list of legal shells on the
system. Each shell is listed in the file by its absolute path name.

Lines or portions of lines beginning with # are assumed to be comments
and are ignored. Blank lines are also ignored.


HTH,
Massimo
