10.4: A fix for users disappearing from the login window
I haven't tested this again in Tiger, but in 10.3 and previous, any user account with UID of less than 500 also won't show up in the Login Window.
10.4: A fix for users disappearing from the login window
I've actually been playing with that method in NetInfo on 10.4 this evening, and it doesn't seem to work any more. I had one user's info set like this:
shell /bin/bash I changed it to:
shell /bin/bash But it didn't seem to produce the desired effect (that is, it was still visible in the Login Window). Then I changed it to this:
shell /usr/bin/false When I went to the login window, that user had disappeared from the list. And then I changed it to this:
shell /usr/bin/false Which also worked. However, when I changed it to this:
shell /sbin/nologin The user re-appeared in the Login Window list. I would prefer to be able to use /sbin/nologin because of the error message it gives, but then the user is visible in the list. I wish there was a way to have my cake and eat it too: I want /sbin/nologin as the shell, but I want to be able to set whether the user is visible in the list or not independently from the shell variable. :P |
