You can also set the shell to passwd. On Thu, 26 Feb 2004, Peter Risdon wrote: Jeffrey Allan D. Java wrote: Hi, Is it possible to add an email account in a mail server without a shell account?

The difference being that it requires the addition of a user for each mail account whereas something like vpopmail does not. I've googled but can't see anything about this so for my information, I generally use /nonexistent as the shell in situations like this, and add /nonexistent to /etc/shells. Is there a difference between using /passwd and something like /nonexistent? PWR. On Thu, 26 Feb 2004, Peter Risdon wrote: Jeffrey Allan D.

Re: Addition of user
The user can change their password. If you have a control panel or some other facility I think nonexistent would be better.
