Hi,
Quick question.
I have been using /dev/null to prevent shell logins (yet
still leave pop3
etc running) as follows:
username:x:1000:1000:Mr
I would rather give people as little information about the system as
possible. There is also a risk (however slight) that /bin/false could
be replaced with a bash program. I don't believe that this could be
done with /dev/null (or could it ?)
It's not a problem at all to replace /dev/null
