To disallow shell accounts for ftp and pop users etc., Is it better to use /sbin/nologin or /nonexistent for a shell entry in /etc/passwd? "/nonexistent" does not exist "/sbin/nologin" exists and actually fires up a shell and returns something. FTP users must have a valid shell but this can be set to anything in /etc/shells. Can't seem to find a definitive answer to this. Thanks, _________________________________ Scott Gerhardt, P.Geo.
