Hello,
After a system/world update my user account dealmeida cannot be logged to or
root cannot su to it. When su - dealmeida is issued at the root command
prompt, it immediately returns to root. When login is at the console the
motd appears (twice; why?) and then the session is closed. In the
/var/log/messages I get
May 2 20:42:35 xeon0 su[29286]: Successful su for dealmeida by root
May 2 20:42:35 xeon0 su[29286]: + pts/1 root:dealmeida
May 2 20:42:35 xeon0 su[29286]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for
user dealmeida by root(uid=0)
May 2 20:42:35 xeon0 su[29286]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for
user dealmeida
No other account has this problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Is the user's shell set properly?
I made no changes in the account and looked over the . startup files;
they look okay. Also, the output of password -S dealmeida are fine.
Still puzzled why motd appears twice even at root login.
Thanks
