I'm trying to set up users for running specific service daemons, but I don't want someone to be able to use that user to log into the machine via ssh (which is the only way to log into the machine remotely) or the console. I searched through the mail list and couldn't find the answer, but apologize if this has been asked before. Would I be correct in doing something similar to what one does when installing qmail? I.e.: pw groupadd daemongrp pw useradd daemon1 -g daemongrp -d /var/daemondir -s /nonexistent &tc... I guess I'm looking for a fairly secure way of adding groups and users that won't open me up to possible attacks. Any suggestions are welcome.
