It's not so much that as that tcsh should be added correctly to /etc/shells as part of the post-install process. That, at least IMHO, is a valid bug report. -- John Henders - System Administrator - Mindlink!/Wimsey -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

There's something a little more subtle going on here - I've experienced the same problem and have read ftp documentation extensively trying to resolve the problem. /usr/bin/tcsh was indeed in my /etc/shells, but no luck. After reading the previous post, just for the heck of it, I entered /bin/tcsh in /etc/shells, and now it works. Note that /bin/tcsh is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/tcsh. Now I don't profess to be an expert on this, and I'm sure if I dig around for the next four weeks, I might find the solution to this, but the original poster had a valid problem report which RTFM really isn't going to solve for him! -- Don Morton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Math Sciences Voice (405) 581-2396 Cameron University Fax (405) 581-2616 Lawton, OK 73505 http://www.cameron.edu/~morton -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Very strange. Read the man page on ftpd, or simply add /usr/bin/tcsh to /etc/shells (the short answer to RTFM). The ftpserver checks to see if you have a valid shell before allowing you to log in. --Pete ___ Peter J.

X11R6 package in Debian 1.2 bugs (?)
I installed X windows package from Debian 1.2 (ftp'd from uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu, one of the mirror sites), here are some strange things I noticed, I wonder if anyone else has it: (1). rxvt doesn't work properly: backspace doesn't work, it types ~ instead. I can't set it by "stty erase" either. (xterm works fine). (2). tcsh doesn't work properly: I can't ftp into my computer from another computer if my shell is tcsh (as specified in /etc/passwd). It gives me "user access denied". However, if I say csh in /etc/passwd, ftp works fine, even though the shell is still tcsh (I didn't install csh, so csh defaults to tcsh, I guess). Very strange. (3). I use "startx" to start X windows, there is the message "PEX fonts not loaded", and "XIE fonts not loaded". I did install "xfntspex" package. And what is "XIE"? I use fvwm manager. PS. I'm still trying to figure out how to make automounter to work, I installed it, but no luck. Any help?
