I have a few user accounts I would like to restrict from all remote
login but allow them to login via console or su. I've read though the
man-pages of "login" and "login.conf." I tried replicating the "default"
section in /etc/login.conf, adding ":ignorenologin:\" using the "users"
group and then a single user like so -
kbrede:\
:ignorenologin:\
:path=/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin:\
:umask=022:\
:datasize-max=256M:\
<snip>
and
users:\
:ignorenologin:\
:path=/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin:\
:umask=022:\
:datasize-max=256M:\
<snip>
I then created an empty /etc/nologin file. The short of it is with this
setup nobody can log in remotely.
Am I doing something wrong here or completely missing the boat?
Thanks,
kent
