[BlueOnyx:13246] CMU IMPORT FROM BLUEQUARTZ TO BLUEONYX - FTP USERS CANT LOGIN

[Rodrigo Ordoñez Licona]

Hi 

Hope this helps somebody else, 

We migrated a bluequartz to a blueonyx , and import went fine however some
ftp users could not login,

We searched the logs and /var/log/secure showed an "invalid shell" message, 

The passwords were correct, if you tried to "ftp localhost" the password
worked
But if you used ftp www.site.com  The login failed.

**To fix it we found out that in blueonyx, on /etc/passwd every user has a
record with the valid shell, normal ftp users have a /bin/badsh

Users imported from bluequartz showed /bin/false instead of /bin/badsh

---Use this with care!!!
we backed up first 
cp /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.bak
cd /etc 
replace bin/false bin/badsh -- passwd

then issued a
/etc/init.d/xinetd retart

And it fixed the problem
