Re: How to change all /bin/bash at /etc/passwd to /sbin/nologin?
Because that's what pw is for...you don't need to worry about accidentally deleting a colon, for example. A script using pw would also be a huge timesaver over manually editing hundreds of entries, I'd think as well. Of course, sed can do it even quicker, but with the same risks.

Re: How to change all /bin/bash at /etc/passwd to /sbin/nologin?
sed -i .backup s,:/bin/bash$,:/sbin/nologin, /etc/passwd But at least on my FBSD systems bash is in /usr/local/bin/bash, not /bin/bash! And what would you need this for?

Hi Lothar, Thanks for your response. How about if all uid's that =500 at passwd file must change from /bin/bash to /sbin/nologin? Thank you. Best regards, James C.

Re: How to change all /bin/bash at /etc/passwd to /sbin/nologin?
I would not recommend using vipw or sed to change your users' shells.
I'd just create a file of users:
cat /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d: userlist
(Edit out any users you don't want to include):
then a scipt using pw to change their shells
#!/bin/sh
user=`awk '{print $1}' ./userlist`
for user in $user
do
pw usermod $user -s /sbin/nologin
done
