you could be right about mysql, I use debian and webmin I don't need to use the CLi

I think having a shell is more dangerous then having a pass, but it doesn't matter i removed it, I wasn't planing on using it for anything anyhow, and if need be a sudo passwd $user can be added to the end of a script anyhow.

Mysql needs it for the user? I was under the impression the mysql root "user" (inside mysql) does, but not the system user that mysql runs under.

you can' sudo or su to a user that doesn't have a shell. you can execute things as that user using sudo -u but that is it.

But he would have a shell, just not a password.
