Hello all, I'm noticing that when following the directions given here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-nis.html For how to disable logins, the recommended action is to set the shell to /sbin/nologin. However, this is sloppy as it allows the user to log in, get the motd, do everything short of getting a shell. I've tried starring out the password in the +::::::::: entry, (and putting in a "bad" password, like x), and those don't seem to work. I am still able to connect via sshd and prove that the account works. What's happening here? -Dan -- <Wrin> quick, somebody tell me the moon phase please? <Dan_Wood> Wrin: Plummeting. -Undernet #reboot, 9/11/01 (day of the WTC bombing) --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------
