   We're having a problem when bash (1.02) is installed as the login
   shell: ftp refuses any logins from a remote system with the message
   'user jes access denied, Login failed' (SunOS 4.0).  Does ftp not
   recognize bash as a valid shell, or did I miss something in the
   installation?

   Hopefully this is just my ignorance again.

Edit /etc/shells to include the pathname of the bash binary that you are
using as a login shell.  If /etc/shells does not exist, make it.  Here
is what it looks like on my machine:


----------------------------------------
File: /etc/shells
----------------------------------------
/bin/csh
/bin/sh
/usr/gnu/bin/bash
----------------------------------------

Put the pathname for bash into /etc/shells.  Check out the doc on ftpd
which details these sorts of things.

We have no problem to ftp ( Ultrix 4.36 ) in or out here, fizzle.stanford.edu,
when bash (1.02) is used as login shell . The machine is a DEC3100 running
under Ultrix Worksystem 2.0 (Rev. 7).

Your pathname to `bash' (e.g., `/usr/local/bin/bash') must be in the
file `/etc/shells'.
