Hi,

  I am a first time user and having problem using login. When I try to 
login as another user it goes through the authentication and finally 
fails. See the full transcript attached below.


$ login localcontrol
Password:
No directory /home/LocalService!
Logging in with home = "/".
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
login: no shell: /bin/tcsh: Permission denied


I installed cygwin from the internet using setup.exe (for all users). My 
account has admin privileages on this machine (so does the localcontrol 
account). While I am quite familar with Unix/Linux, I am a novice when 
it comes to windows world. Please help.

I am having minor difficulty in subscribing to this list. While I am 
working through that issue, please, if do not mind,  cc replies to me also.

Thanks and Regards
Ramesh
