Hi,

check on the home directories of the two users in /etc/passwd. They must exist.
run pwck

Re: unable to login particular groups

Hi,

We had checked the permissions on all the home directories .

We tried creating a new group and a new user . Then also we get the same error as
No Directory.

MOst peculiar thing is that when we put that user or any user in the group called 'operator' as secondary group he is able to login without any problems.

We have checked everything from permissions , quotas and even HP support is not able to give a proper solution for this.
They had asked us to restore from a old backup.We were told that this is not in their problem database.

Right now we are including the users in operator group till we get a clear idea of the problem and a clear solution.

If any one can give us a solution for this we will be very happy.

Re: unable to login particular groups

Are these NIS users?. Are you running automount daemon?. Do you have BASE or ENHANCED security enabled?

No this is not NIS user& running automount daemon.I think this is base security only.

Re: unable to login particular groups

Are you saying that,

If you put the users into a particular group -> You get 'No directory' error.

If you remove them from the group -> No problem.

Correct?

Can you post the /etc/passwd /etc/group entries for the affected users and group?

Can you show us a "ls -ld" on "/user6" and "/user6/muthu"?
