Hi All,
Facing the login problem.
i try to login to the system by the normal user. But when i logged in with the correct username and password, it takes me to the blank (black screen) screen instead of the command line prompt. Only the cursor is blinking ...
Please help me out what is the issue. ? I am using redhat 4
Thanks in Advance !
You might check your account in /etc/passwd and ensure you have a shell set.
As suggested, you need to check the shell set for the user. Just to be sure, does the same happen for other users as well? How are you accessing the machine: directly through console or through ssh? You need to boot the machine into single user mode and check the /etc/passwd entry.
sounds like a bad shell entry in the passwd file to me as well.
chsh username is your friend.
