I don't know much about the vacation program, but maybe you can get away
with giving them a pine shell. I do that with my users. I installed pine
4.something through the ports dir and make it the default shell for my
users. That way if they ssh into the box they only get to check their mail
and that's it. FYI you have to add the path to /etc/shells for you to use
it as a shell.

Subject: sendmail vacation


> We have a sendmail server that has about 5000 accounts.  The users do not
log in except for a few admins.  I have set the users shells to
/sbin/nologin.  I have some users that want auto responders for their email
addresses.  I have been using the vacation program in conjunction with the
.forward files.  This causes a problem since the vacation program needs a
valid shell.  I have allowed logons to those few users.  I do not like this
approach.  Is there a way to not allow user logins and use vacation.  We
are using sendmail 12.2.2
