Why "of course"?

Did you perhaps forget the #! ?

shadow passwd and login shell

Post by Wesley Shi » Fri, 17 Jan 1997 04:00:00


I just install the shadow960129 suite into my slackware 96 with kernel
2.0.27
system, Because I like to let my client can login into my system by
using ppp connection,so I put a ppplogin script in the shell position of
the /etc/passswd file. Of course, they can not login in. So is it
possible let them login into
a script and not a shell ? Say once they login in, they will execute the
/usr/sbin/ppplogin script which I write it by my own ?

Thank you!

1. shadow passwd - login.defs

In the login.defs file there is a switch to disable logins for users by
putting NOLOGIN in the shell field in the /etc/passwd file. This is
supposed to disable logins but still allow "su".  When I do a "usermod -s
NOLOGIN testuser" and try to login under testuser I get an error that it
can't execute NOLOGIN : No such file or directory.  When I try to su -
testuser I get the same error and don't get logged in as that user.  Can
anyone help me with this.
