[gentoo-dev] [Gentoo/FreeBSD] enewuser and /bin/false shells
Hi, As Gentoo/FreeBSD is always improving, I'm thinking is just the case of telling everyone how to correctly use enewuser without bailing out Gentoo/FreeBSD :) enewuser is often used with /bin/false as shell to create an user who can't login. Unfortunately this doesn't work on Gentoo/FreeBSD (and AFAIK also Gentoo/OSX has its own problem). To avoid this, please pass -1 as option for shell to create a no-login account, which is then expanded to the right shell for the right system.

I've made the change for app-mobilephone, net-dialup and net-proxy categories, but I believe no one will blame you if you make it yourself. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
