    RHEL 5-User cannot log on

    User gets the following message when trying to log on:

    User's $HOME/.drmc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users.

    When the user hits OK they get this message:

    Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem.

    Then it gives it gives a details page:

    View details (~/.xsession-errors file)

    The details read:

    localuser:<username> being added to access control list
    No profile for user '<username>' found
    /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession: line 89: /bin/csh: cannot execute binary file
    /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession: line 89: /bin/csh: Success

    All the user accounts have the same error. I can only log on as root. Can someone give me instructions or advice on how to fix this problem so my users can log on?

    Well I not really sure what the problem is but the error message above give you a starting point. Have you verified and/or corrected the points listed in this error message? That is where I would start.

    Check your uses directories and ensure they are the owners of the .drmc file.

    well this is because your .dmrc file has not been owned by user..

    try changing permission for ownership so that user shld own and change the file but other users cant..

    u shld have a 644 permission for this purpose

    #chmod 644 /home/user/.dmrc [hit enter]
    this will solve the prob 100% yes..
