Make sure that / and /bin are 755, and /bin/csh is at least 711. Then, you may also check /etc/shells to have the csh in it, but that wouldn't cause this symptom. Maybe also check to see that the shell is in the shell field, not the home directory field in the password file... you never know... :) Mark
