Hi all, I think that could exists an error in documentation. I am trying to create users which can only use mail. So I put /bin/false in their shell, and it is OK. But this is the end of the story; according to the webmin documentation : ... When a user logs in via telnet or at the console, or opens an xterm window in X the users shell program will be run to interpret commands entered. If a user does not have a valid shell program or has one that does nothing (like /bin/false), then that user will not be able to login. This can be useful when creating users who can only read and send email. ... If you leave the shell field empty, or put a non existing program (like /shellnotexists as shell field) you CAN login via putty (ssh) (of course you had to permit login by password) and issue any kind of commands (ls, cd ......) If you correctly put /bin/false in the shell field, you login via putty (ssh) and the window is closed immediatly (correct) I am running Suse 10.1 with latest kernel and patch I think that could be fine to update the help field thanks, Andrea |
