You are successfully logging in as those other users, but the login process is launching the users’ login shell, and when /bin/bash is executed, the login session returns: “/bin/bash: Permission denied”. Then the login session exits and you log out My first guess is that either /bin/bash’s permissions are broken, and root either uses a different shell or the permissions only allows root. The output of “rpm -V bash” should tell you what is wrong with the package. Now, personally, I see a long out of date system with ssh access and broken bash, and I immediately think “compromised system”. So I’d suggest caution. -- Jonathan Billings <billi...@negate.org> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
