Why can I 'su apache'? I get the following results whether I do 'su apache' or 'su - apache'. I'm writing a series of perl scripts to create a web frontend for portage. I want to run 'emerge' before and after adding apache to the portage group to see how it acts. This is very difficult to do when I can't switch to the user apache.
The shell for user apache is /bin/false, which means it will exit as soon as it logs in.
You need to change the shell if you want to log in as apache.
I saw that and thought, 'No, that's too simple to be the answer' ;) Thanks.
