Re: [ot] how to create a user that can't log in?
hi ya nathan
create a group "proj"
add tom, dick, harry to belong to the proj group ( /etc/group )
- those NOT listed in proj will NOT be able to do anything
make sure /home/project is owned by projectmanager and group proj
make sure its chmod 775 or chmod 770 for /home/project
make sure the shell for projectmanager is /dev/null ( no login shell )
each user ( tom, dick, harry ) can all run
/home/project/scripts/start-me-up.sh
w/o having to be projectmanager
-- i claim there is no point to having a login account projectmanager/user
if everybody can login into it... why bother ???
- you'd want to know who made the changes ... ( tom, dick, harry )
c ya
