consider the more general case: Let there be a network of 32 computers. I CANNOT change the users shell to /bin/flase, 'cause the OS/2 pcnfsd's don't work any more with that "shell". So the shell must be some of /etc/shells. Ok, I DON'T want the ordinary users to use telnet, ssh, etc. and therefore I am looking for a way to prevent this. Of course I could add every machine to /etc/hosts.deny but that seems a lot of aministration effort for me. So my thought was, to ask for a method toallow only a few users to for example telnet to that box.
