Hi Peter,
This is a post that I pulled out from the archives. I think /nonexistent
does seem better than /bin/false.
I would like to ask one question to clarify what is probably very obvious,
but I want to be certain of this.
Is the directory /nonexistent supposed to be created or not? In other words,
do you want the directory not to be created so that the login fails due to
"missing home directory", or do you want the directory to be created, but
empty?
