Hi folks,
I have some users I don't want shell accounts given to but I do want FTP access to them. On RH7.3 I just set the user shell to /bin/false and everything worked wonderfully, but on RH8 users are unable to login if the shell is set to /bin/false.
As soon as I set the user to have /bin/bash as the shell, they can login without problems. I tried using /dev/null too without success.
For security reasons, I would prefer not to give everyone shell access to the box.
Thanks.
Jason
