On my Linux machines here, I actually have to symlink /bin/bash to /usr/bin/bash. We have mostly Solaris servers here and the shell for all the user accounts in LDAP is /usr/bin/bash. After the symlink is created it works fine, I don't even need to add /usr/bin/bash to the /etc/shells file. - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFGxIfJNTm8fWdRgmIRAqCcAJ4gMqtQd8cTsAc3gNbvCtWaafVyHACfXS74 0SRDPHzDSFniiP5LFekLfR0= =CJrs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
