How To Troubleshot Login Problems Caused by .bashrc

in Linux 2 comments

Applies to: 

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Version N/A and later

Linux x86-64

 

Goal

If the configuration of .bashrc cause it to exit, that can cause problems like preventing login.

[client]$ ssh oracle@server
Last login: Thu Aug 17 13:07:48 2023 from <CLIENT IP ADDRESS>
Connection to server closed.
[client]$

 

 

Or using a different user:

 

[opc@server]$ sudo -i -u oracle
[opc@server]$

 

Solution

If the problem is with the unique user that have access to server, it have to be booted using single user mode and recover. Check https://community.oracle.com/customerconnect/discussion/652235/how-to-boot-into-single-user-mode-on-oracle-linux-6

If an alternate user can be used to access the instance, then check the system with:
