The wierdest thing happend this morning when changing my shell. When using chsh it asked for my password, i typed in the right one (several times), but it kept refusing it. I telnetted to the machine with the same username and password --> no problem. Even than it didn't work.

Check if the suid bit is set on chsh otherwise it can't read /etc/shadow. Ciao, Stefan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
