If I have a user that has a nologin shell and they forget thier password, is there a way to give them a new password? Right now I am resetting their password to nil, then giving them a shell like /bin/sh, logging in on their behalf, setting up a password, and then changing their shell back to /bin/nologin. I would like to elliminate the noshell to shell and then back to noshell part. --
