Hello!
Have just encountered such problem bugging us currently:
1.) Upon reboot of the system, (running OSF/1 v2.0b), the console login 
(GUI) is not executed, instead, a login prompt is seen but on a text format.
Has also observed that upon observing the monitor message below the 
screen, the screen flips to and fro mode 16 and 3.
2.) Since then, users are denied access from the host. When they try to 
login and entered their corresponding passwords, they encounter this 
message below:
No directory!
Loggin in with home = "/"
login: no shell: Permission denied
Changed the permissions of the /usr filesystem from a 700 to a 755 and 
was successfully able to login but again, with the following error message:
login: no shell: exec format error
What seems to be missing?
Bonn
:)
