Kurt, What happens if you change the shell via chsh? What happens if you attempt to set a different shell, like /bin/tcsh? Do you get the same result when you log in from within the shell using login or su? What does the user's login line look like in /etc/master.passwd after either vipw or webmin? Are you certain you aren't doing something silly with your editor like a line wrap or DOS newlines? If you want to debug, you can try doing ssh -v and / or sshd -d. Good luck!

Are you certain you aren't doing something silly with your editor like a line wrap or DOS newlines? Apologies, I *was* doing something very silly. In vipw, I didn't actually do what I described. Instead I was inserting ba before sh to make bash. But bash doesn't live in /bin, so I had the wrong path as a result. Webmin just gives me a multiple-choice popup, and so I was unable to make the same mistake there. Thanks for your response, which somehow helped me to focus and discover my mistake. -Kurt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
vipw and bash login shell
Hi, When I used vipw to change the login shell to /usr/local/bin/bash (which is listed in /etc/shells, and was built from ports), subsequent ssh login attempts fail (password rejected). If I change the shell back to /bin/sh or /bin/csh then login works again. If I instead use webmin Users and Groups to set the login shell to bash (or any other shell), everything is fine. There is a delay of quite a few seconds for the webmin Save operation to complete, whereas after ZZ the vipw completes without any perceptible delay. This is with 7.0-RELEASE (Generic) on i386. Ports were updated sometime last week. Any thoughts much appreciated. -Kurt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
