Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk When I am on the x-console as root, I try to open an xterm window -- it opens, but immediately writes to that xterm the message: xterm: Can't execvp tcsh What does this mean and how can I fix it? Next...I can telnet out of the machine. I can ftp (non-anon) in and out of the machine. The only problem is when you try and login to the machine. You type your username. You type your password. THEN it tells you "Login incorrect." However, you know for a fact that the computer is full of crap because you just logged-into the same account with the same username and password from the x-console 2 seconds earlier. So....let's go into debug mode....I need/would-like-to-know exactly what happens when you telnet to a machine and try to login. I want to what gets called from where, what kind of mesgs. are passed/received, etc. This is where the hang-up is. I would like to get into the nitty-gritty, ripping this thing apart. I absolutely cannot afford to rebuild this machine from the ground up, including readding users. I do not have that kind of time. Thanks for any and all of your help! -ben -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Benjamin Tomhave | Shell to DOS...Come in DOS...Do you Copy?
