It's important to install the Sun supplied pdksh before installing and configuring SRSS. You will additionally need the extra packages listed in the Release Notes.

I'm not sure why swapping out one shell for another would cause the authentication failure. It shouldn't. If you boot into single user mode, and change the shell for the user you are using to bash, does it let you log-in?

Hello,

By default KSH was the login shell for the account. I had already install SRSS 4.1 on the server and was preparing to setup the DTU to connect. I saw the post related to the subject that pdksh should be used.
I removed ksh -- No errors
I installed pdksh -- No errors (should I have done something else?)
rebooted.
At login screen window pops up 'Authentication Failed' cannot login. I did not go to log files as of yet. Restored machine from backup.
Any thoughts... Must I do/verify something?

Thanks for assistance,
M

Hi, it's a bit unclear what your problem really is, but yes, in my
experience it is necessary to replace ksh with pdksh, or else utconfig
fails (from an earlier post on this list, no explanation as to why this
works).

I don't see any reason for this making it impossible to log in? Have you
set ksh as the login shell for root or something similar?

HTH,
