the safest way is to set the shell to /sbin/nologin and the home directory to /nonexistant in your auth system. The latter is especially needed if you allow ssh for remote login since the public-key authentication mechanisms sometimes bypass the normal login restrictions. -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean AT hedron DOT org URL: http://www.hedron.org/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
