Well if you set /bin/false as the initial shell for a user of course he will not login. The point is that the user can connect to the server through this shell but not get to command line. And before you mention anything about restricted shells I also tried it with rksh and the user can still bypass his .profile and get command line.

The .profile file should be read when the user logs in. So, there should be no need to execute .profile file again in a cron job (since the cron job is run after the user logs in). Doesn't the cron require login from the user. Then, from where does the cron execute? Please help!! (1 Reply)
