Hi,

The reason was that I had made a new slackware installation in which then in 
the /etc/passwd under my user name at the end of the line there was no 
:/bin/bash as it used to be.

I found it out when I added an arbitrary user in which then again bash was not 
started in the terminals. Again on his passwd line there was no :/bin/bash.

So it had nothing to do with me getting too old for Linux. It's a new 
"gimmick" in slackware which one has to find out first.

Regards
