hi, At my lab, we have an RH7.2 box. Recently I had to add some users. The problem is that the people that I added, are not around, that's why I've decided to do the following: I've made this script script #!/bin/bash # file: /bin/message echo Hi! I am sorry to tell you that your account has been disabled. echo contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] to activate it sleep 10 logout
and changed /etc/passwd entries to something like this: logname::1234:10:full name:/home/name:/bin/message (as you see, no password field in the entry), Is this technique secure? What is the accepted approach? Thanks ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
