Synopsis: pw lock still allows access State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: mtm State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 27 02:28:56 PST 2003 State-Changed-Why: From the man page: The pw utility supports a simple password locking mechanism for users; it works by prepending the string `*LOCKED*' to the beginning of the pass- word field in master.passwd to prevent successful authentication. The operative phrase here is "... to prevent successful authentication." If you are using ssh with key-based authentication, then authentication with the passwd database doesn't enter into it. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=47541 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
