While that is not this case, I don't think it is a good idea to have useradd opt-in users by default: - Any user account that is actually used for interactive login will be 'opted-in' anyhow by the history feature. - The face browser may not be able to identify locked accounts easily: - the face browser won't be able to read shadow - these accounts may still need to have valid shells An example of accounts that should not show up are kiosk accounts. - J?rg -- Joerg Barfurth phone: +49 40 23646662 / x66662 Software Engineer mailto:joerg.barfurth at sun.com Desktop Technology http://reserv.ireland/twiki/bin/view/Argus/ Thin Client Software http://www.sun.com/software/sunray/ Sun Microsystems GmbH http://www.sun.com/software/javadesktopsystem/
