[opensuse] failed to execute /bin/bash
Hello, I have a problem on my 13.1 server (I know it's no more maintained, I'm working on the move to be done soon) for *one* user (the others works normally) I can't log in nor su # su mary su: failed to execute /bin/bash when passwd: mary:x:1006:100:mary:/home/mary:/bin/bash and ll /home rwxr-xr-x 9 mary users 4096 juin 3 2011 mary what could give this result? This account is used for mail and thunderbird log without problem... so seems to be a sh problem, but the user login is *not* disabled (for what I know) any hint? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, this is not fully correct: it is updated by the Evergreen people. But not for long.
for *one* user (the others works normally) I can't log in nor su
# su mary su: failed to execute /bin/bash
check the permissions of "/bin/bash"
when passwd:
mary:x:1006:100:mary:/home/mary:/bin/bash
and ll /home
rwxr-xr-x 9 mary users 4096 juin 3 2011 mary
what could give this result? This account is used for mail and thunderbird log without problem... so seems to be a sh problem, but the user login is *not* disabled (for what I know)
Maybe something inside /home/mary -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Failure is in subprocess, su is just messenger here. Use "strace -f ..." to continue tracing child as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

maybe there is some message in syslog. Try journalctl --follow in a terminal, then do "su - mary". See what messages if any appear on the log. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

I tried yast to edit the user passwd/account, but obviously this didn't trigger a passwd rewrite :-( as the mail worked, I couldn't change tpp much the account, and by the way the blanks didn't cause problem for mails, only for login jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sounds like su wants to execute '/bin/bash '. ... ah, reading on in this thread I see you found it, so this is just a hint for you how you could've seen it earlier.
