I've done some searching on Google and SE and have not found what I need using my search terms. Accessing RHEL 5.10 (Tikanga) from Windows 7. I am making a new user and need to make sure their login works, with these restrictions: No other services are set up so I can't telnet from my PC to the machine.While I currently have a shell window open to linux via Exceed, I can't use another  Exceed startup profile (.xs file) to log in. I need to make sure the linux login works before I set it up in Exceed.I'm trying not to use any client program like Putty. Exceed is having problems so I'm trying to take that out of the loop to figure out what is going wrong.So how do I test their login from my linux command window? When I do /bin/login I keep getting a message about an incorrect password, but I know the password is right. I just created it. And sometimes the shell window just closes.Thank you.
