disabled user account properties

[Ed D]

Hi,

If a user account is deactivated, (say for too many unsuccessful logins) are there any issues with the account funtionality? I read in another thread that mail forwarding using .forward will not work? Anyone aware of other issues?

Thanks,
Ed

Shalom,

I don't think whether the account is deactivated or not will effect mail processing. Sendmail is unable to check this when accepting inbound mail.

ssh/telnet logins will fail. public key enabled logins will also fail. A console login will reactivate the account.
