/bin/false as a login shell

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I see that /bin/false is not a valid shell by default on CentOS. It is 
f.i. on Suse. /bin/false is present, though. Is there a security reason 
for this? man says that nologin gives feedback that the account is not 
available while false just exits false. Anything against just adding 
/bin/false to /etc/shells?
