Could it be a symlink to a non-existing file?
How about sneding us an "ls -ld /bin/bash" and a "file /bin/bash"?

Hi all,
I have a problem with user bwurzbur on a RH9 machine i hold, when doing "su bwurzbur"
the output is:
su: /bin/bash : No such file or directory
on ssh'ing to that machine under his login, the machine gives me the following ouput in the -d mode:


debug1: Sent 768 bit server key and 1024 bit host key.
debug1: Encryption type: 3des
debug1: Received session key; encryption turned on.
debug1: Installing crc compensation attack detector.
User bwurzbur not allowed because shell /bin/bash  does not exist
debug1: do_authentication: illegal user bwurzbur
debug1: Attempting authentication for illegal user bwurzbur.
Failed rsa for illegal user bwurzbur from 192.168.85.192 port 1023
Connection closed by 192.168.85.192
debug1: Calling cleanup 0x8071b80(0x0)

these 2 symptoms are originated in the same problem. any idea what the problem is?
/bin/bash exist and owned by root, the user's home dir. has the permission 755.
thanks.
