Sorry to reply again, but I have some further information. I used chpass to change the shell of the jailuser account. I tried /bin/sh, /bin/csh, /bin/tcsh, and /sbin/nologin. All of those gave the same "Permission denied" error. Even nologin gave "Permission denied" instead of "This account is currently not available." _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
