He's saying he wants the shell on "pop.host.com" to be forced to /bin/emailonly. That's easy; just add an override to your NIS include line: +::::::/sbin/nologin You can even do neat things with groups, and have an "admin" group that's allowed to log into all machines, etc. The passwd(5) manpage actually has some nice examples on this. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
