Data KSH Login issues
Hi

In my environment User have csh have default shell. In some cases some users requires KSH. We are using NIS as well as some local users. here my problem is recently in some of sun servers if users who have ksh as a default shell are trying to login with putty the session terminated after giving the password. if you login with any other user which not ksh as default shell and try to su to ksh users they can login. Please help in this.

Is ksh definitely in the location specified in those users /etc/passwd entry? Is it executable? Is it listed in /etc/shells?

yes, that is there in /etc/passwd and mentioned in /etc/shells file.

Has their password expired? I found putty bails without prompts if the password needs to be changed.

Any errors in the logs? Server or Windows? The Windows event log sometimes will help with what the problem is as well.

Considered using cygwin instead of putty (don't know how savy the folks are at your place).
