Operating Systems AIX Disable ctrl-c,ctrl-d,ctrl-d in ksh script Post 76609 by bakunin on Wednesday 29th of June 2005 10:49:41 AM

The reason why you don't get the desired result is you aren't carrying out Perderabos advice: "~/.profile" is a script which is run at some point during shell startup. This means that your Helpdesk user has still "/bin/sh" or something such configured as login shell in /etc/passwd. Having a shell execute a script at startup is not the same as having this scipt as shell.

Instead of renaming your script to ".profile" you should change the entry in /etc/passwd for the users login shell from (presumably) "/bin/ksh" to "/this/users/home/script.sh", and rename the script back to "script.sh".

Don't forget to add this to the list of allowed login programs in /etc/security/login.cfg if you are on an AIX box and probably to something analogous if you are on another system.

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
chfn(1), login.defs(5), passwd(5). shadow-utils 4.5 01/25/2018 CHSH(1)
