Hi,
You have to find which sourced environment is not correct. You can source .csh files.
Regards
This could be everything and is hard to tell from here. For instance, one conceivable reason: The user in question is not in a group which is necessary to source one of the files you mentioned.
I suggest you do as citroen said and try to nail down the problem by testing good one part of the login process after the other: rename all the files involved as citroen said, then reenable one after the other until the error happens again. Then you have found the culprit. Now repeat the process inside this file to find the offending line, etc..
This is less a technical question than a question of how well your debugging skills are developed. As you need these daily as a systems administrator i suggest you start immediately developing them.

Now, move regualr files and directories from /home/idsldap.save back to /home/idsldap
This will show a number of files beginning with a .. One by one move them back to the original home directory - after each file, try a su - idsldap. When that gives the original error message - you have found the file with the error.
Hello,
I am curious that is there a way I can restrict a user or a set of users to execute the C/C++ compiler, basically what I want is to lock it down to a particular user and none of the other users should be able to compile any code.
Thanks in advance. (14 Replies)

Hi all,
I cannt use 'su' to login to root or any other users though everything seems ok. I read some articles that says if you do recursive chmod 777 on /usr it can create this problem.
I did the same. can anybody tell me how to repair it. Any ideas will be appreciated.
