Hi ! Probably your /etc/shells is missing for some reason (I think it is missing in a current base-passwd package release but fixed now). /etc/shells should look like this: # /etc/shells: valid login shells /bin/ash /bin/bash /bin/csh /bin/sh /usr/bin/es /usr/bin/ksh /usr/bin/rc /usr/bin/tcsh /usr/bin/zsh Greetings, Christian -- Christian Meder, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's the railroad to me ?
