Bug#2928: nobody has wrong login shell
Package: base
Version: 1.1.0-4
Hi
this is in /etc/passwd
nobody:*:65534:65534:nobody:/dev/null
now no one can su to nobody:
# su - nobody
su: cannot run /dev/null: Permission denied
this causes some scripts to fail ... please change this.
I think there must be a better way, maybe we should define
1. nobody-scripts ... for all the scripts
2. nobody that the real nobody e.g for daemons .. which never
will have a login or a shell ...
comments???
regards
Soenke
