su to account set to NL
Greetings Forumers!
I have created several Application accounts on servers that run cron jobs but should not allow direct logins. These accounts have a password set but have been modified with 'passwd -N'.
Now my users are complaining that they cannot become that application account with /bin/su. They are entering the correct password for the account but are getting the access to the account.
Is this because of the 'passwd -N'?
Thanks!
