Can't LOGIN!

[Mag0007]

We are trying to login to AIX 5.2, I can read my .profile, and after that nothing happens. I know my password is right...

BTW, another admin is logged in, but he is the only one who can login....

WIERD!

Does the file /etc/nologin exist?

Does the other admin use the same .profile? What is in the .profile?

 

[Mag0007]

yes...the other sysadmin has the same exact .profile, and credentials.

hmm, the system was just rebooted I will check on the /etc/nologin!

thanks for the quick replies!

No nfs mount hung on some dir you are trying to cd into from your .profile?

HTH,

Hi,

System reboot will remove the /etc/nologin file automatically.

Login as root and edit the personal user .profile and comment all. try one by one uncommenting to figure out which one causing the issue.

I guess, is not something funny spaces set for PS1 variable in your .profile.

Hope it helps.

okay...it seems to be a JFS + Fibercard issue, according to IBM support...so we are waiting for this to happen again.
