Prevent "su" to user without HOMEDIR

[tom quach_1]

Hi All,

hpux 11.11 and 11.23
this parameter works fine when connecting using telnet or ssh
/etc/default/security
ABORT_LOGIN_ON_MISSING_HOMEDIR=1

but it does not work when su to this user from different user.
Please advice on how to prevent group member from "su" to this user when the HOMEDIR was mising?

Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hi,

the su command is not designed to check this.
For the non-root user after a lock of the account, a 'su' won't be successful anymore.

Hi,

how about this in /etc/profile

if [ `/usr/bin/id -g` -gt 100 ]
then
if [ ! -d "$HOME" ]
then
echo "Access denied "
exit
fi
fi

The GID-Value should be checked though.
