I believe that it was mentioned that SSH (using RSA key authentication) could be used to get around a `*' in the passwd field. A (theoretical) way of getting around the shell issue is ~/.login_conf. From the man page: shell prog Session shell to execute rather than the shell speci- fied in the passwd file. The SHELL environment variable will contain the shell speci- fied in the password file. However, as I last recall, this functionality was not implemented. - -- Mike "The man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, 'Limit yourself'; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian." -- Murray Rothbard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0i Comment: Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBOHVpeeG+Jfm/z6tNEQLP9QCaA6Qu5Cw0Ki/GfUpXG0f99BZ2SM8An3vT +wnZnLgowEYGVKX1+l+A6XlR =cXio -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
