Hello lhareigh890:

You neglected to state which operating system you're using. On the platforms I use, to be a valid login shell an executable must be listed in /etc/shells.

---------- Post updated at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous update was at 09:53 AM ----------

Actually, I don't think either login or ssh consult /etc/shells, but I'll leave its mention there in case it's helpful in some way.

Also, bear in mind that to be able to execute a file, you not only need execute permission on the file, but execute (aka search) permission on every directory in its path.

Regards,
Alister
