The title explains the issue. I have 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost listed in the /etc/hosts file. This is limited to two instances of Proxmox Backup Server. One PBS is a bare metal install, while the other is a VM. Proxmox VE doesn't have this issue. Apparently I have something configured wrong, but I'm scratching my head as to what it could be. Any help would be appreciated!
[SOLVED] >_Shell returns 'Connection failed (Error 400: Bad Request)'

Hi,
Thank you for the reply! Whenever I click on the >_Shell command in the left column, I get a black screen to the right with "Connection failed (Error 400: Bad Request)" at the top. I can use SSH via Putty without issue, it simply would be more convenient to use the Shell option. Plus the fact, that there is something obviously wrong with my install or configuration, which I would like to correct, and improve my knowledge of Proxmox in general. I researched this issue prior to posting, but the only solution I ran across suggested I add 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost to the /etc/hosts file. Which doesn't apply to me, because that entry already exists. I was hopeful that someone here would have an idea as to what is causing this issue, because I'm no expert (obviously) in Proxmox or Linux. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, I'm an idiot. I don't know why I didn't see it before, but the log stated ...
POST /api2/json/nodes/localhost/termproxy: 400 Bad Request: [client [::ffff:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:43178] only pam users can use the console
... and since I wasn't signed in as root@pam, I didn't have authority to use Shell. Thanks for your help! Sometimes I can't see the forest because of the trees.

I'm running a VE server and able to add another user under the PAM realm. I understand on the Backup server (PBS), you can't add a new user under PAM realm but just PBS. Just to confirm, does not mean I can't access the shell within the graphics UI if I logged on as another user and not root?
