Re: Linux ssh Logon error prompt

It looks to me like a typo in the shebang line. Could you check the _first_ line of these files (on the server that you are using ssh to access):

~/.profile
~/.bashrc
~/.bash_profile

and any shell scripts that are called from these files.

The first line often has something like '#!/bin/bash', but in these files it is not needed. I suspect that in one of these files there may be a stray square bracket like '#![...'. It could also be a typo in /etc/profile, but that would affect every account.

Cheers,
Tony
