Can't switch to another user.


Hi,

I am a first time user and having problem using login. When I try to login as another user it goes through the authentication and finally fails. See the full transcript attached below.


$ login localcontrol Password: No directory /home/LocalService! Logging in with home = "/". Fanfare!!! You are successfully logged in to this server!!! login: no shell: /bin/tcsh: Permission denied


I installed cygwin from the internet using setup.exe (for all users). My account has admin privileages on this machine (so does the localcontrol account). While I am quite familar with Unix/Linux, I am a novice when it comes to windows world. Please help.


I am having minor difficulty in subscribing to this list. While I am working through that issue, please, if do not mind, cc replies to me also.

Thanks and Regards
Ramesh
