[SunHELP] NIS - "no shell"

[Gallagher, Tim]

OK, I found the problem. Somehow the permissions on the / directory had been changed.

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,
