Hi Helpdesk,

I don’t seem to be able to login to MOSRS. See error message below. This is strange as I’ve been able to do this without any problem for many months. I saw in a previous ticket with a similar error that you suggest to edit the ~/.bashrc file. However, I don’t have such a file. So I’m not quite sure how to resolve this issue.

Many thanks for any help.

Hi Grenville,  
Thanks for the reply.  
The MO are helping.  
I had my account deactivated as I didn’t change my password when we were last prompted.  
Please close this ticket.  
Best wishes,  
Andrew
