Need Real Name

I am still waiting for a responce on the problem with tcsh. The shell can be changed by typing "tcsh". That does not give all the capabilities of the tcsh. It does not give me history for example. I also tried to chsh command and /bin/tcsh. That did not work and later on I could not login into that shell. The only thing that worked was a copy of tcsh from Red Hat 6.2. This worked for the current login session and stoped working after that. I noticed this exact same problem... I was just going to report it... i.e., if I change the login shell to tcsh (using chsh for example), then after logging out of the account I can not log back in from the terminal (I can, however, ssh to the account...): I type in the username and password, the screen blinks and the login screen reappears... I tried to reproduce your problem by: 1. installing 7.0 Workstation US (all defaults) clean on a machine with one user acct and starting in text mode 2. logining into that account, using chsh to change from /bin/bash to /bin/tcsh 3. typing startx to confirm that X and GNOME come up 4. reboot and install 7.1 U.S. via Upgrade 5. login to user acct. tcsh comes up. startx works. gnome-terminal works. do you have a .xsession-errors or other error messages that appear when you log into the tcsh acct from the console? The .xsession-errors file has been sent for a review to havill and to bhuang Check if you have /bin/tcsh in /etc/shells... If not - add it, and check if you can login. /bin/tcsh disappeared from /etc/shells in one of the previous distributions for unknown reason and at least it prevented users with tcsh shell from accessing their accounts using ftp. Hi I have the same bug with RHAS I installed it and then run : usermod -s /bin/tcsh root Then when I try to log, I have this root: Command not found. root: Undefined variable. [root@rhas ~]$ So I have to launch it by hand I can't reproduce either behavior. If it still occurs for you, please attach at least: * /etc/shells * whether "/bin/tcsh -l" works * Output of strace for the attempt to log in: use (ps -e | grep mingetty), use the TTY field to select a process, then (strace -o log -ff -p pid_of_selected_process) and send at least the files matching (grep -l exec.*tcsh log*). Note that one or more of the files will probably contain your password. Please reopen this report if you can reproduce the problem on a recent release and you can provide the requested data. Thank you. |
