Solaris 10 login problem. need guru's help.

I posted the same question a few days ago. Mor than 150 persons reviewd it. But noone could answer my question. Is there real expert or guru out there to help me out? Here is the question again.

I isntalled solaris 10 on Sun sparc 64 bit machine. I can login as root user through GUI or console. After I created an Oracle user, I only can login as that user from console window. I tried to login from GUI (CED) window, it failed. Anyone know about this, please help me to figure out the reason and the method to fix it. Thanks for your help.

How did you create the Oracle user?

problem is, there are so many forums that each one

appears to have really low traffic, making them not

very effective tools to help with sysadmin.

IMO, they need to consolidate all of these forums

into one forum.

You might try comp.unix.questions or comp.unix.solaris

with better results.

DoxBrian:

I created group and user like this:

1. /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall

2. /usr/sbin/groupadd dba

3. /usr/sbin/useradd -c 'comment' -g oinstall -G dba -s /usr/bin/ksh oracle

Then I do usermod to set Oracle home directory

4. usermod -d /u01/app/oracle oracle

After this, I can login as oracle through console, the shell become $, not #. This is because I set shell as ksh. When I tried to log in through GUI, it failed without any information. Thanks for further advice.

$ is for users, # is for root.

ouput of:

ls -l /u01/app/oracle

ls -l /u01/app

ls - /u01

please

I have found some different in /u01 part, but not sure. Please advise.

Also I set Oracle profile umask 022. Does this impact anything?

Thanks.

I don't like the looks of that for a home directory.

Here is what I would do.

Write down the uid of the oracle user.

userdel the oracle user.

Recreate the oracle user as a generic user account with the existing id number and place the home directory in the same location as the rest of your general user accounts. In other words, don't treat the oracle user as a special case.

Thanks for your input. But I am a little bit not understanding what is the problem for the looks of that for a home directory? Please give more tips. If I userdel and re-create oracle user, it will change the look of directory?

slarisfan:

When I tried to log in through GUI, no any error message came out. When I su - oracle, system just log me in without asking password. But the shell prompt will switch from # (root) to $(user). So I know that I have logged in as oracle user.

As the oracle user, please do a "set" and paste the contents here.

do this:

useradd -c temp -d /export/home/temp -m temp

the - m will create the directory if it does not exist. Then compare the permissions to your oracle user.

try login for temp, try gui login for temp

Thanks for your direction. I tried to create a temp user based on your command. It works. I can login as temp user from GUI and console. I went to temp directory to see a couple of files such as local.peofile, local.login. Then I userdel oracle. re-create oracle with useradd and these options:

# useradd -c 'Oracle software Owner' -d /u01/app/oracle -g oinstall -G dba -m -u 100 -s /usr/bin/ksh oracle.

Then I can log into as oracle user from GUI and console. But I looked at the directory permissions. It looks like before. I posted them for your comments.

$ pwd

/u01/app

$ ls -al

total 6

drwxrwxr-x3 oracleoinstall512 Dec 14 15:00 .

drwxr-xr-x4 rootroot 512 Dec 14 15:02 ..

drwxrwxr-x4 oracleoinstall512 Dec 20 10:44 oracle

$ cd ..

$ pwd

/u01

$ ls -al

total 8

drwxr-xr-x4 rootroot 512 Dec 14 15:02 .

drwxr-xr-x 34 rootroot1024 Dec 20 10:43 ..

drwxrwxr-x3 oracleoinstall512 Dec 14 15:00 app

drwxrwxr-x2 oracleoinstall512 Dec 14 15:02 oradata

And I went down to oracle directory to see files. I only saw .profile file there. I think it may be that when I useradd, I need to use -m option. This is the only option I didn't use in last time when I created oracle user. Anyway, thank you for your help. Best wishes for your holiday and new year ahead.
