expert cant login

[bestwes]

Hi, I am connecting to my firewall using plink.exe, I can logon using admin account :
c:\plink 10.11.11.1 -l admin -pw password
and it brings me to the [admin@hostname]# prompt

but when I use the expert account I cannot login it says "Access denied", even if I use it in putty.
how can I enable the expert account to logo? I usually use the admin account first then goto expert.

Thanks and regards..

Change the shell in /etc/passwd for the admin user... (use bash instead of CPShell)

Is it prompting you for a password? If so, then its telling you you have the wrong password.

what I am trying to do here is to use the expert account, the execute the command "shutdown" without go to the: "expert@pcname# " I used plink it can send command using ssh.

as I mentioned earlier, if you change the shell type in /etc/passwd for the admin user, you log in directly as "expert" instead of "admin" and the full range of commands is available.
