Hi
I have a problem with my personal login when using x-windows. I can get in using a telnet session, but when I try x windows I get this message "User shell not listed in /etc/shells. Login rejected"
 
You need to add whatever shell you're using to the /etc/shells file if it exists, and create it if not. If it doesn't already exist, add all the other shells used and listed in your /etc/passwd file too, otherwise other users might not be able to log in once it's created. Regards.
