Please advise. I'm running testing w/ 2.4.26.
Does 'grep yourloginname /etc/passwd show a line something like: yourloginname:x:1000:1000:yourgroupname:/home/yourloginname:/bin/bash If the shell is missing after the last colon, add it. It probably is not this, but I wasted many hours looking elsewhere when I had that problem, and this was the reason. Else, google or search the archive for the last two months - there were a couple of threads on this. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
