If it is IPA user, do following: $ kinit sina $ ipa user-mod sina --shell=/bin/bash The default is to have the shell set to /bin/sh because bash isn't available on all platforms by default and OpenSSH will refuse to log in a user which uses non-existing shell. /bin/sh is guaranteed to exist in all POSIX-compatible environments. You can change defaults via $ kinit admin $ ipa config-mod --defaultshell=/bin/bash The defaults will only apply to users that will be created after the change. > >On Thu Jan 22 2015 at 11:37:03 AM Alexander Bokovoy <<a href="mailto:abokovoy@redhat.com" target="_blank">abokovoy@redhat.com</a>> >wrote: > >> On Thu, 22 Jan 2015, Sina Owolabi wrote: >> >Umm... /bin/sh? >> Yes, POSIX shell.
