Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers what is the default password for those build-in accounts? Post 302102312 by _Spare_Ribs_ on Tuesday 9th of January 2007 05:45:15 PM

These accounts are not for logging in with and hence that is why they have their login shells set to /bin/false. They are used by the daemons that they relate so sshd is used by the SSH daemon as the description says.

If you login as root and superuser to them

Code:
su sshd

you will see nothing happens.

As for you being able to login with Oracle, this is not unusual. It is sometimes used by DBAs to go in and use SQL Plus as it allows access to Orcale's components.

NAME
chsh - change login shell SYNOPSIS
chsh [options] [LOGIN] DESCRIPTION
The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user may only change the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account. OPTIONS
The options which apply to the chsh command are: -h, --help Display help message and exit. -R, --root CHROOT_DIR Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory. -s, --shell SHELL The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell. If the -s option is not selected, chsh operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current login shell. Enter the new value to change the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current shell is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks. NOTE
The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command name must be listed in /etc/shells, unless the invoker is the superuser, and then any value may be added. An account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell. For this reason, placing /bin/rsh in /etc/shells is discouraged since accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever changing her login shell back to its original value. FILES
/etc/passwd User account information. /etc/shells List of valid login shells. /etc/login.defs Shadow password suite configuration. SEE ALSO
