Error 530
If you receive the following error message:
530 Login incorrect / FTP LOGIN REFUSED (shell not in /etc/shells)
it usually indicates that your account is not
in the grid-mapfile, or that your shell is not in /etc/shells.
If this is the case, add your account to the grid-mapfile. If
it is already in the grid-mapfile, check the syslog on the machine
and make sure
that your shell (as listed in finger or chsh) is in the list of approved
shells in /etc/shells.
Finally, if you have the file /etc/grid-security/gsi-authz.conf, but want to just use the grid-mapfile, delete the file gsi-authz.conf.
