Having problem with ftp login when I set bash as default shell (on
solaris7)

After I set my befault shell to bash ( the path was correct ), I
repeatdly failed to login via ftp. telnet and others work fine, but
only ftp does not.

I supposed there could be a problem with .bashrc file, but I even
didn't set anything on .bashrc.

ps. If you reply via e-mail, I would really appreciate that. Thanks in
advance

Tau,
check /etc/shells
it is for listing the shells program (incl. the path) along
with its path.
check man ftpd & man ftp.

Try "man ftpd" and look at this part:

in.ftpd authenticates users according to four rules.

[...]

Third, ftp access is denied if the user's shell is not a
shell listed in getusershell(3C).

and then "man getusershell" (or "man shells") will tell you how
to add shells to this list.

You need to add a /etc/shell file. Ftp usually uses bsh. This made me
pull my head out until I figured it out. I believe the man on ftp tells
you the syntex on the /etc/shell file. If not give me a holler I will
look it up for ya
