UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Dear all members
I've a question basd on an AIX enviroment. In here I've two administrative users, are used for the running application (SAP).
Now my problem's, that's not possible to login over the "normal"
Loginscreen as such a user. If I try this, the FTP connection will
closed at once. It's just possible to login over the "Root" account.
I've checked the user profile, also in the /etc/passwd,
but I could find anything trouble(
Who knows more about? Thanks much in advance!!

Did you give a shell to thoase users?

hope this helps :-)

Hi Frank

Yes, I've checked this and it's ok, but thanks for your help at first!
It's crazy, I've the user, UID, GID using the csh.
You must think about that other users are working
with the same shell, and there it's not a problem to do.

Regards Oliver

did u make sure that the shell entry is present in the '/etc/shells'? If not try it and it'll work...

Hi there,

What i notice is that when you create a new user/password on AIX and you logon on the console, the user needs to change his/her password.

when you login using telnet, AIX does not ask for changing the pasword while login in for the first time.

When you use this new user AND ftp the ftp session is closing by the remote (The AIX box) host.

SO, when those users you metion are NEW users who never changed there passwords, try is:
change the paswords, and use FTP again.

The entry exists in /etc/shells, so at least it was just a problem in password, so I've generated it and it was ok! Thanks for help!
