Note you are succesfully logging in. You get a message about the last login and start a shell. Otherwise /bin/bash would not be sending error messages. There must be something wrong in your start up scripts or environment that cause your shell to exit before giving a prompt. You may get more info by logging in as root and using "su" and "su -" to switch user to bob or bobg. Jon -- Jon H.
