WRQ SSH2 INSTALLATION

[Christopher K. Chilenga]

We have installed WRQ SSH2 Rev 6.0.0.1 but only user root is able to logon. An attempt to use telnet with an ordinary user gives a "No Shell" error message. This is still happening even after uninstalling SSH2. My OE is 11i. Please assist.

I hope it is problem with that user's /etc/passwd file.

Go to the machine and see /etc/passwd related details for that specific user.

No Shell is nothing but that specific binary is not available.

Example: /sbin/muthu/ksh like that.

hth.

In fact I have checked the user settings and have even deleted and recreate users and even changed shell programs from /usr/bin/sh to /usr/bin/ksh but the results are the same.

[Muthukumar_5]

Check these for that user:

1. Is all shells in /etc/shells file
2. what is saying for,

ls -l /usr/bin/ksh /usr/bin/sh

Is there any link to that.

3. Is /usr file system mounted?

hth.

Hi,
Try login to root first, do an su - and try. Is it working. Do u find any thing abnormally with /etc/passwd file.

All proposed solutions have been checked but I am still in the woods. A comparison with the other running box reveals no differences.
Anything else I can check?

[Muthukumar_5]

Try this:

Login as root,

# su -

Are you getting same error for that user.

Can you post,

# user account informations as,

# logins -uax for that user.

ls -l
what

what are you getting.

PS: Post the informations without saying as you've tried that. It will be good to pin-point the problem.

If root is the only one able to get in, check permission on /etc, /etc/password, and /etc/group. The permissions on /etc should be r-xr-xr-x and the permissions on password and group should be r--r--r--.
