Hi There

A couple of days ago I installed RedHat Linux 4.0.  Everything seemed to be alright as I
was only working as root on the console.  However, I noticed that as I logged in as
myself (an ordinary user) information from /etc/bashrc (my shell is bash) wasn't being
read at all.  However, it worked fine for the root account.  I also noticed that when
I telnetted to my host from another host the information in /etc/issue wasn't being
displayed, although /etc/issue worked fine on the main console.  Also, if I logged into
my system from another host, using telnet, and, once logged-in, executed 'login', the
system would actually throw me out and report the following message in /var/log/messages:

        Jan 22 17:02:50 malamute pam[594]: pam_get_user: no where to record username

I haven't mucked around with pam.conf at all so I really can't understand what is going
on.  Has anyone had this problem before?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
