After setting up NetBSD/Sparc 1.1 on my SparcStation SLC, I configured the network,
hostname, DNS, etc.  Then I added a normal user account (vi group; vipw; mkdirs; 
cp .cshrc & .login; chown; chmod; passwd newuser), but the new user can't login.

The login goes fine right up until it tries to start the shell, then produces the
following error:

login: /bin/csh: access denied

I *think* that I've checked the obvious protections, but I just can't get it to work.

Any (relevant) ideas?

Thanks,
