A friend of mine who has the Micro C-Shell program is having difficulty 
getting it to operate in the 2(multi) user mode.
He altered the /etc/passwd file and that allowed him to log-on, but 
immediately after logging on, it brought him back to the login: prompt.
He is definately getting logged on under the new account name, but for some
reason the shell prompt never appears.

It would go something like this:

Login: john
Password:

Welcome to the Micro C-shell Multi tasking .. etc...

Last Login Monday September etc ...


Login:

--------
And that's it.  It just goes back to Login: and does the same thing with 
all user names.
Does anyone out there have any ideas why this is not working?  Has anyone
else had a similar experience with this piece of software?
Thanks in advance.
