This is most probably because your user account doesn't have |
| 18 |
a valid shell specified. Check for your user entry in |
| 19 |
<path>/etc/passwd</path> and see if it ends in /bin/bash |
| 20 |
(or any other shell). If it doesn't, you must set a shell |
| 21 |
for the user. This is done using the usermod command, like |
| 22 |
this ; |
