[Ltsp-discuss] GDM with invalid shell. Possible?

[Humberto B. Morais]

I have a network set up using LDAP. As users use only file services (Samba) and e-mail (Postfix, Courrier imap), they all have invalid shells (/sbin/nologin). Now I'm adding a LTSP server to make use of some old P100's to browse the Internet. Is there a way to let users login with GDM without giving them valid shells? I wouldn't like to give them valid shells for security reasons. I also wouldn't like to resolve this question throu a more complicated LDAP setup. LDAP is an overkill for our shop and has been the source of more problems then it's worth.       Also, I'm exporting the users' homes from the Samba server to the LTSP server via NFS. Is there a problem with this solution? Any conflict with users accessing the same file in differente machines via differente protocols? Should I be doing it differently, perhaps using a Samba client in the LTSP machine?       TIA,       Humberto Morais   PS: I'm using RH9.0 and LTSP 3.
