[K12OSN] Login or not to Login...that is the question.

[Brad Johnson]

Hi Frank,

You may have already checked this, but I had this problem initially.  
Make sure on your macserver that your users have a shell account chosen 
in Workgroup Manager.  Mine initially defaulted to a login shell of 
"none".  I changed  my setting to /bin/bash, and those users can now login.
