    Hi

    I am getting "Invalid user shell login rejected" when logging in as any
    users but not root.

    As far as I know no changes had been made to shadow or passwd files in etc.

    I have tried creating new user with a different shell, no luck.
    Most of the users are using csh, but if I change using vi and edit a users
    shell to one other than csh i.e. sh like root is using and run yp make after
    this, still not luck.

    I cant see any extra characters in shadow or passwd files using vi, as I saw
    a post with the same error message on goggle.

    Thanks in advance

    John
