that makes sense, because some users aren't allowed to log in. For |
| 19 |
example: |
| 20 |
| man:x:13:15:man:/usr/share/man:/bin/false |
| 21 |
the man user can't log in. the shell is /bin/false. |

now that I can't explain. But I have games and guest myself, although |
| 31 |
I don't use CVS. So my guess is it's not a bug and you've not been |
| 32 |
hacked. |
