Re: Incorrect logins - incorrect

Yes, /bin/false is a valid shell.

We are going to install a new machine. This machine must have a hardware
problem of some sort. The shells that Radius is saying is wrong are parts of
the password file belonging to another customer.

This machine also locks up periodically for a few seconds at a time.
This is something else that makes us believe it's a hardware issue.

Bill,

 Hi,

 I switched to FreeRadius about a week ago and just noticed these
errors
 in my radius.log file. I see where Radius has rejected a customers
 authentication because it says the password is wrong or the shell doesn't
 exist. But I have checked these usernames and passwords and shells and
they
 are correct. The customer usually gets on invalid login and then it works
 fine. It almost seems as though FreeRadius's rlm_unix file is parsing the
 passwd file wrong.

 I do not use shadow passwords. Any ideas what could be causing this?

 [/home/ctaksch:/bin/false]

Is /bin/false listed as a valid shell? I am not sure how
freeradius handles this, but most apps want it listed as a shell. Do you
see this error with other users who have a valid shell?
