1. you can create a local account and disable shell access by setting the login shell to /bin/false or whatever. that way it is impossible to login as that user, ever with the password. not exactly what you wanted but it's close enough for a lot of cases.
2. use something like cyrus, which uses its own "subsystem" to handle mail. user accounts are defined from within cyrus itself, rather than using system accounts. jason On Tuesday 27 January 2004 10:27, Ralph Blach wrote: > Hi, I want to add an email account for a person without giving that > person a home directory on my linux box. > > How do I do this? > > Thanks > > Chip -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
