Thanks Stephen, Where will I find the attribute mapping? Today I only have remote access via ssh and RDP. ---Original Message----- From: Stephen John Smoogen <smooge at gmail.com<mailto:Stephen%20John%20Smoogen%20%3csmooge at gmail.com%3e>> Reply-To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org<mailto:CentOS%20mailing%20list%20%3ccentos at centos.org%3e>> To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org<mailto:CentOS%20mailing%20list%20%3ccentos at centos.org%3e>> Subject: Re: [CentOS] Help with default shell Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2021 05:53:44 -0400 [EXTERNAL] This email was sent from outside of UCC.

On LDAP the default shell is csh. When ssh to login it works, i.e. $SHELL = /bin/csh Also, when using xrdp it works. However, a login from the keyboard and screen attached computer we get $SHELL = /bin/bash So my first thing I would try to do would be to see if `getent passwd <username>` showed different configs when a person logged in different ways. Aka ``` $ ssh foobaz $ getent passwd ssmoogen ssmoogen:x:14353:14353:Stephen Smoogen:/home/ssmoogen:/bin/csh $ exit login: ssmoogen passwd: $ getent passwd ssmoogen:x:14353:14353:Stephen Smoogen:/home/ssmoogen:/bin/bash $ exit ``` In either case, I think from going down the rabbithole of bugs/etc that something in your system is using attribute mapping to force a shell but only for console logins. The general way this is done is sticking map passwd loginShell "/bin/bash" map passwd shell "/bin/bash" Beyond that I do not have any openldap systems to confirm how this would be done. Any help is welcome. Regards, Ger. -- Gerard Hooton. Senior Technical Officer School of Engineering. University College Cork. College Road. Cork.
