Could someone help me with the following I had read a posting 'from this forum' that stated the file /etc/passwd had the entry /bin/sshell for the user shell, and that If I wanted a user to be able to just telnet to e-smith, I could edit the passwd entry to /bin/bash, which worked.
Question #1: I use ssh on one of my other Linux RedHat v6.0 box's. That system has the standard /home/ where I would create the .ssh2 subdirectory and place the .pub key in for ssh. But with e-smith, I have no idea where to do this. How/where do the user home directory's get created? How do I set up ssh for a user ( myself ) to ssh to the server? I have seen that under /home/e-smith/files/users there are directories named after the user's I created, but there are no .bash_profile files?
Questionc #2: Does e-smith create .bash_profile files where I could place alias's etc for that user?
Is this possibly the answer to my questions, could it be that e-smith was not intended as a user/os where a normal user ( not root or admin ) can just log on and work? that's why bash is not the default shell for new user's, and that's why there is no .bash_profile for the users, because e-smith wasn't intended for people to log in? I noticed that /root has a .ssh directory. Is that for setting up a ssh2 account to access the server via a windows ssh client like Putty, or SecureCRT?
Thanks
Dave LaPorte.
