[opensuse] how to disable user login
Hi everyone. I've made a user for a process. getent gives me this:: nslcd-user:x:1481:100::/home/nslcd-user:/bin/bash He shouldn't have a login nor a home folder but useradd asked me for a password. I've tried this: /etc/shadow nslcd-user:*:15352:0:99999:7::: But I don't think this is the right way to do it. Sorry to be lazy, but could someone help me do this?

there is an option in YaST to disable an user (and be able to re-enable it later) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Of course. Forgot the most obvious. Now have a nice secure nslcd-user:x:1481:1000::/var/lib/nobody:/bin/false In just 4 clicks! Thanks L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Even more easy would be just usermod -s /bin/false nslcd-user or usermod -L nslcd-user
