User account with no login shell
Thanks pludi & apologize for replying bit late.

In the meantime, I have created an installer for a Java based server in-house product. In that I have been told that, this server should run as a daemon & should get start during boot up and currently this daemon running as a ROOT user.

My question relates to same post, that should I create a:
- Separate User Account with no login shell for this product.
- And also if I login as a normal User, will the normal user still able to use the server (which is running as a daemon) OR this daemon only gets started via its own account or ROOT account (As I have to make available this daemon to ROOT + normal user as well).
