Hello,
After failing to be able to login as I describe below from my previous
message, I was able to login using csh instead of sh but I received the
following error message:

warning no access to tty (inappropriate ioctl for device) thus no job
control in this shell

I want to fix it so I can return to using bash and get rid of this error.
Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Timothy


Old Message:
I cannot login anymore. I just upgraded a few packages. In particular I
upgraded initscripts to something like 5.27-20mdk. and a few others that
shouldn't effect anything (ie., rpm 3.0.5 rpm-devel, rpm-python). When I
rebooted I found that after typing my name and password I was returned to
the login prompt after being acknowledged as logging in.
 
I entered the system through 'I' interactive bootup and couldn't find any
problems. I created a new user but to the same effect.
 
The log records PAM_pwd[556]:(login) session opened for user my_name by
LOGIN (uid=0)
 
immediately followed by PAM_pwdb[556]:(login) session closed for user
my_name

I receive essentially the same result through gui logins.

I received a comment that it has something to do with /etc/profile.d

My system is Mandrake 7.1 on a Shuttle MVP3 motherboard, 196megs ram
The packages I have installed recently include
initscripts 5.27-20-mdk
fileutils-4.0-13mdk
rusers-0.17-2mdk
procps-2.0.7-6mdk
man-pages-1.31-1mdk
ipchains-1.3.9-8mdk
cpio-2.4.2-18mdk
dev86-0.15.0-3mdk
devfsd-1.3.10-3mdk
firestarter-0.4.1-1mdk running firestarter after install caused a core
dump.

 Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Timothy
