Topic: Error open admin sesion with Putty

[Mihai Nedelescu]

Hi All,

Can anyone help me ? I don't know what happened, but I can't log with user admin via Putty.
I type the following:
-----------------------------------------
[root@ns /]# su admin
could not open session
-----------------------------------------
What's happend ? Until yesterday, I log in without any problem.
Can anyone help me ???
Thank you very much,
Mihai

Did you reset/adjust/modify with the permissions or contents of /etc/shadow or /etc/passwd?

Also, have you modified PAM at all?

Or did someone else, without your knowledge. System cracking is popular in Romania, I hear.

I don't know. I'm new in Linux. What can I say, is that I try to use my username instead admin. The same message appears.
Can I do something ?

Thank you,
Mihai
