Doug: Hi, Thanks for your answer. Actually I wanted to prevent a login for certain users by writing: #cat ~user/.login exec logger sorry login disabled - ftp still works where ~user/.login is owned by root:wheel and has permissions 0444 ******* But I found better by creating a class in /etc/login.conf let's call it no_login which has has a field called nologin=/etc/no_login . Any user I do not want to login has an /etc/master.passwd entry something like: user:pwd:1001:1001:no_login:0:0:User Login Disabled:/home/user:/bin/csh Why did I create a /etc/no_login file instead to use the ordinary /etc/nologin. Well, this way the user may still access the host by ftp, because ftp access is disabled as soon as you have an /etc/nologin file.
