[SunHELP] NIS-"no shell"

[Pissey, Vinod]

HI

The user is not having any shell .You need to check what shell the user is
having from the passwd file.If it is ksh you need to link /usr/local/bin/ksh
to /bin/ksh or whichever shell he is using it.

regards

Users on one machine get a "no shell" error message when they try to log in
to the NIS domain. The output of ypwhich, rpcinfo all seem fine, permissions
appear OK as compared with other boxes with the same OS version. Not limited
to a particular shell.

There is connectivity, root can gain access, but when (as root) you try to
"su <username>" - it also errors with no shell.

Thanks,
