If you're talking of the same user having a differnet shell on each client, one way I can think of is to set the shell to /bin/localshell and then symlink /bin/localshell on each client machine to what you like. (And you may want to add /bin/localshell to /etc/shells.) > an example of what i'm trying to do is: > mail/pop have a /bin/emailonly shell or similar I don't follow. You seem to be talking about different users here, rather than different clients. Different users can have different shells anyway. Rahul.
