RH6.0 dialup gateway server, all security updates. Very strange
issue, in which logins to all accounts except root fail with the
following: "no directory /home/user". Permissions are fine on all
home directories. Tried creating a new user, and that user got the
same results. Tried editing /etc/passwd to change the home dirs,
nothing worked. Only root can log in, and only to the console. Do
"su - user", to any user, shell tells me it's unable to run /bin/bash,
permission denied.
I found a reference to /etc/no_login in an old archived post, but
there was no such file on my system. Authentication clearly isn't the
problem. Syslog shows successful logins each time I try to log
in. But it appears that no user except root has any permissions
anywhere on the system.
All I've done recently is set up an .rhosts for a non-privileged user
to connect from a single private IP, and use that account to copy some
backups onto the problem machine to a subdirectory of the
user's home. What on earth got hosed?
