1 I'll get right into my problem. I have an internal web server that I
2 don't want anyone but me to log into. However, this webserver needs to
3 use NIS/NFS so it can automount users home directories for public_html.
4 I tried to restrict people from logging in using these lines in passwd:
5
6 +myusername::::::
7 +:!!:+:+:+:+:/bin/false
8
9 Shouldn't that allow "myusername" to log in and deny anyone else? This
10 really is more of a "Should I be doing it this way?" kind of question I
11 guess.
