Even though I'm not running sshd I added 'DenyUsers newuser' just in case. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yes, you can configure that in SSH. There are the DenyUsers DenyGroups keywords for sshd_config. Alexander -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Apparently -s /sbin/nologin wasn't such a good idea since the user then can't log in via GDM. Makes sense. I want the user to be able to log in via GDM but not via ssh. Is that configured in ssh? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
