w2kusers.deny
w2kusers.deny(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual w2kusers.deny(4)
NAME
w2kusers.deny - Authentication file for Windows 2000 Single Sign On.
SYNOPSIS
# Comment account_name
DESCRIPTION
The w2kusers.deny is a text file containing a list of user account names. When an account is included in this file, the Windows 2000 Sin-
gle Sign-On software verifies only the UNIX authentication for the named account.
To add user accounts to the file, use a text editor to enter the user's UNIX account name. The following syntax rules apply to the
w2kusers.deny file: Only one user name can be entered on a line. The user name must exactly match a user name in the UNIX /etc/passwd
file. Comment lines begin with a pound sign (#).
EXAMPLES
The following example shows a typical w2kusers.deny file: # The following file lists account names that are not allowed to use # the Win-
dows 2000 authentication information when it is enabled. # Account names must match exactly the user account name in the # /etc/passwd
file. # # Syntax: account_1 # . # . # . # account_n # root nobody nobodyV daemon bin uucp
uucpa auth cron lp tcb adm ris wnn pop imap Peter Dave Beth Martha
