Re: user administration issue
Hi,
Is a useful way to lock user access without involve password field. e.g:
#usermod -s /usr/bin/false xyz
To work, also you must include once this entry in /etc/shells file:
/usr/bin/false
The /usr/bin/false file must exist, old HP-UX 11 versions not include this file, then create it:
#echo "exit 0" > /usr/bin/false and set adecuated ownwership and privileges.

Re: user administration issue
Hi,
The shell /usr/bin/false is widely seen in the "system account" tftp which is the priveleged account on /etc/passwd for the protocol tftp.
