Re: Disable user logins
If you are using ENHANCED SECURITY, you can disable a user using:
usermod -x administrative_lock_applied=1

Re: Disable user logins
what i want to do is that, at a moment, for example, when i want to launch my backup, i dont want any user to login remotely to the system, so i want the system to reject remote user logins at that moment.
is that possible and how?

SolutionYou can reject all user logins by simply creating the nologin file in /etc
# touch /etc/nologin
Optionally, you could send a message to your users that the backup is running...
# echo "Backup in progress" > /etc/nologin
Should anyone attempt to login they'll see:
login: someuser
Password:
User logins denied by file /etc/nologin:
Contents:
Backup in progress
Let users back on again by removing the file...
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Re: Disable user logins
I remember from my time as a T64-admin that the "/etc/nologin" was not supported on True64.
I used to make a copy of "/etc/passwd", delete all users from it and after finnished what I had to do, copy back the original passwd file.
