Re: [suse-security] SHELL=/bin/false but user can still log in

If I enter /bin/false as login shell in the /etc/passwd the user can still login and gets shell access. After rebooting the system the shell entry in the /etc/passwd is processed correct and a login attempt is closed as you would expect.

Does the "nscd" cache also the shell field from /etc/passwd? If so, a "nscd reload" after changing the shell should prevent the user from login after that command. -- Have fun, Peter
