Hi All, Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not getting there yet. I tried vipw, but this doesn't work. It was not on my system, installed it with opkg install shadow-vipw. But then running vipw gives me: vipw: /opt/etc/passwd: No such file or directory vipw: /opt/etc/passwd is unchanged
Neither does adding a shell to the user (/sbin/nologin) change anything. Thanks for any additional idea's!
