« on: 7 March 2004, 02:08 »
how do I prevent users from actually being able to login in to slackware?  I want the users to be able to access stuff over the network, but I do not want them login into the slackware server itself. Another question; I know how to "jail" users to their home directory in proftpd, but how do I jail only some users and not all of them?

To give a user access to everything but a shell prompt, edit the /etc/passwd file and replace their shell (e.g. /bin/bash) with /sbin/nologin.  

Not sure about the proftpd jailing question.. I stopped using any form of FTPD years ago.

Slackware doesn't actually have an /sbin/nologin, but you can copy it from RedHat.

I tried that in slackware and it worked, however it prevented those users from logging in to proftpd.

You could probably put symlinks in the home directorys to the other stuff you want them to accses.

eg, if you wanted user "jesus" to accses /bible.

ln -s /home/jesus/bible /bible

or somthing like that.
