su/telnet error

[Chirag Parekh]

Hi,

Created certain new user accounts on HP-UX 11.00 belonging to a new group. While trying to either telnet or doing an su - as root am getting the below error:

Open VOC error.
errno=13: Permission denied

Thank.

I suspect that there is a problem in the .profile of these users. More than likely, the .profile is trying to acceess a file for which this new group does not have permission.

I would not expect an error, if you simply do "su " as root so that the .profile is not sourced.

Hi Alan,

My bad .... I should have looked into the .profile before. Yes it was trying to access some legacy application and the new users were not in the correct gorup. I copied the default profile and it works fine now.

Thanks.
