- Several things may have gone wrong. Most probable is that you happen to have
- removed the setuid of /bin/login. Reset it with
- # chmod +s /bin/login

- This seem to indicate that the shell chosen for this userid is not
- there. Check to see which shell is in /etc/passwd for this userid,
- and see that it is there. Note that the default shell is /bin/sh;
- check the presence of that too.
