The app is something called fpacnode. It is a amateur radio application.
When it is called it will ask for a radio callsign and then if it is happy with
the response put the connnectee on to the node application which allow
manipulation of the node.

Here is the line in my password file that aims the shell to it.

fpacuser:x:1004:1004:fpac users,,,,Access to fpac
node:/home/fpacuser:/usr/sbin/fpacnode

When the user ssh's into the box with fpacuser, and they give the password, they
are passed to the node shell, where they are challenged for their callsign.

I am using the same thing on the other machine. But when you attempt
to log in it
dumps you just after you get a OS version and some other stuff.

I have a directory /home/fpacuser that has a .bash_profile in it, the
file has the following
/usr/sbin/fpacnode

I am not sure what is going on, trying to figure out how to trace what
is going on so
I can try to fix it.
