Bache_gowda - answer the following please:

When connecting to RedHat server from Windows - what are you using (telnet, ftp, ...) ? What account are you attempting to login in as (if you get any prompt at all)?

When you write "i am unable to login to server, after giving username at login prompt cusor blinks, no respnse", was this trying to login on console to the RedHat system? If not, what was it?

"I can able to login to server thro ssh" - where are you coming from with ssh, what account did you use? Same account as the other attempts (from Windows and console)?

Bache answers,
I am using telnet and ftp both, When i am using telnet i won't get login prompt. cusor blinks.

When i am using ftp, i will get login prompt, but i am giving correct username and password. but it will say's login incorrect.

In console at login prompt i am giving username but cusor blinks, It is not asking password.

In ssh from windows m/c i used both root and normal user. I can able to login.

I notice login file owner and group changed to ordinary user like
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bache bache 17740 Jun 20 02:05 login

I am unable to change the file owner and group, Getting the error like
chown: changing ownership of 'login' : Operation not permitted

Thanks
Bache Gowda

chsh

CHSH(1) 							   User Commands							   CHSH(1)

NAME

       chsh - change login shell

SYNOPSIS

       chsh [options] [LOGIN]

DESCRIPTION

       The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user may only change
       the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account.

OPTIONS

       The options which apply to the chsh command are:

       -h, --help
	   Display help message and exit.

       -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
	   Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.

       -s, --shell SHELL
	   The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell.

       If the -s option is not selected, chsh operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current login shell. Enter the new
       value to change the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current shell is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks.

NOTE

       The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command name must be listed in /etc/shells, unless the invoker is the superuser,
       and then any value may be added. An account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell. For this reason, placing /bin/rsh
       in /etc/shells is discouraged since accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever changing her login shell
       back to its original value.

FILES

       /etc/passwd
	   User account information.

       /etc/shells
	   List of valid login shells.

       /etc/login.defs
	   Shadow password suite configuration.

SEE ALSO

       chfn(1), login.defs(5), passwd(5).
