I think this might be caused by the /etc/passwd file. Either the passwd file
is missing or maybe it is out of sync because someone changed the registry 
and forgot to run the /etc/crpasswd command to update the passwd file.  
Try running the /etc/crpasswd command or if you are rlogin'ing to an
slave administrative node or a node that has its UNIX stuff linked to the 
slave node,  try running the '/etc/update_slave //master //slave'
after running the /etc/crpasswd on the master node first. 
Also the shell field in the passwd file should have /bin/csh as you shell.
 
You will probably need root permission to do the above. Hope this helps
