Disable a user's account without deleting it
Maybe I'm a bit of a simpleton ... but why not just change the user's password?
Disable a user's account without deleting it
That's what I was thinking, but that wouldn't remove the account from the login window. But if you were going to change the password, one thing you could do is to change it to a random string of characters, not keeping the string. That way, only a superuser could turn it around, by changing the password to something more reasonable.

If it really works, disabling the account should be better than just changing the password.

Actually this is for the family computer, where my kids' access can be temporarily suspended for a variety of transgressions. Disabling the account is better than modding pwds since it's unambiguous (for certain violations I just shut off the account without further comment or warning, they know why) and easily reversable (I can reenable the account without having to go through a password change cycle). |
