9532.0. "Newly added user can't login " by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Feynman Lo) Thu Apr 17 1997 07:09

A customer is running Digital Unix 4.0a and DECsafe 1.4.
After he installed 4.0a patches for both machines, he found
that newly added users (using adduser) in one of the
machines fail to login. No error messages are reported
during the login. Telnet gives 'connection closed by foreign host'

All the user accounts created before installing the patches can login
successfully.

We have checked auth.log but nothing special logged.

Any suggestion for troubleshooting the case?

9532.1how far did he get?GIDDAY::STRAUSStalking through my binocularsThu Apr 17 1997 19:028
    How far through the login sequence did he get?
    Did he see the login prompt and the Password prompt?
    Or did it fail before then?
    
    You mention telnet.  Does telnet -d give any more detail?
    What about rlogin or ftp?
