Hi,
I have been learning on my own about file permissions in Fedora 8 recently
and I have a few
questions about what I saw on my computer. I was looking at my user account in
User Manager
under properties. I noticed that my password was five characters but not six
that I use
currently. My UID is 500 and login shell is /bin/bash. Another user account
called nobody with
UID 65534 is present with a home directory /var/lib/nfs with password of five
characters and this
user has it's local password is locked. Another nobody account at user ID 99
with login
shell /sbin/nologin with home directory as /.
I checked further into this and realized this has been like this for
several years. I may have experimented with a user
accounts in the past but I can not remember this.
Any suggestions or explanation how I use six character password but only
five is recorded in
the User manager preferences. What's the difference between /bin/bash and
/sbin/nologin?
Thanks,
Darcy
