login(1)

Attempted to log in to a subdirectory root that does not exist. That is, the passwd ®le entry had shell path *, but the system cannot chroot() to the given home directory.

No shell

The user shell (/usr/bin/sh if shell name is null in /etc/passwd ) could not be started with the exec command. Consult system administrator.

No utmp entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"

Attempted to execute login as a command without using the shell's exec internal command or from other than the initial shell. The current shell is terminated.

Remuser too long

The indicated string was too long for login's internal buffer.

Unable to change to directory name

Cannot chdir to the user's home directory.

Your password has expired. Choose a new one

Password aging is enabled and the user's password has expired.

WARNINGS

If /etc/group is linked to /etc/logingroup, and group membership for the user trying to log in is managed by the Network Information Service (NIS), and no NIS server is able to respond, login waits until a server does respond.

DEPENDENCIES

Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM)

PAM is an Open Group standard for user authentication, password modi®cation, and validation of accounts. In particular, pam_authenticate() is invoked to perform all functions related to login. This includes retrieving the password, validating the account, and displaying error messages. pam_chauthtok() is invoked during password expiration or establishment.

HP Process Resource Manager

If the optional HP Process Resource Manager (PRM) software is installed and con®gured, the login shell is launched in the user's initial process resource group. If the user's initial group is not de®ned, the shell runs in the user default group (PRMID=1). See prmcon®g(1) for a description of how to con®gure HP PRM, and prmconf(4) for a description of how the user's initial process resource group is determined.
