block user login

silavario — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:45:22 GMT

Hi,

How I can block login access to some users??

That I like it´s some users can do login by ssh, and if this users want use other user can do "su" but at login time no...

If I do "passwd -l " this user it´s blocked, and only root can do login.

Any options ???

THX and sorry for my english..

Hi Silavario,

You can do one thing, block its password, so no one can login, and if you want to give su access to some selected user then ask them to use sudo to switch into the user profile, but for that you need to give permission to use sudo in sudoers file. . .

Hi,

as i understand, you want users login with their own user names. And switch that user with su -.
i think you can use sudo here. you can change the spesific users password so they cannot login with this user. In sudoers file you give switch user permission to other users.

another solution in the forum:
