'No shell' error message

[Dean Olsen]

I have a problem with a machine I'm supporting.  I foolishly
restored some accounting files into the root directory by mistake and
now the normal users can't get into the system, they get a 'No shell'
message before /etc/profile executes.  Users who belong to the group
id of '0' or '1' can do everthing as normal although when I try to
add a new user sysadm bombs with a 'No shell' at the end.

I have checked all the important files like '/etc/group' etc..  and
can find nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm using ISC 2.0.2 on a 25Mhz clone and have had no other problems
untill now.

Help! 

Thanks in advance
