    Hello forum,

    I've installed ksh93.att as per the DevWorks related article.
    All works smooth (including auditing), but for the FTP access.
    Whenever I try to FTP in to the system as root (sorry, haven't
    tried it as a regular user), I get an access denied message
    (upon entering the root user name at the ftp login prompt).
    When I change root's shell back to the dedault /usr/bin/ksh
    ftp access works fine again. No /etc/ftpusers or anything on
    any system.

    Tried the above on 4 different systems with the same result.

    Any clues will be muvh appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Dimitris.

    What did you name your ksh93 executable?

    The user's login shell must appear in the shells attribute of the /etc/security/login.cfg file. Also, you may want to put it in the /etc/shells file.

    Hope that helps!

    Excellent!

    It was the /etc/security/login.cfg file and the usw stanza. Added the
    /usr/bin/ksh93.att shell (that's how I named it) and everything works
    smooth now.

    Thanks Alex :-)
