there is the following adduser command:

adduser --no-create-home --ingroup openpbx --disabled-password -- disabled-login openpbx

This does NOT seem to be the right format for Centos. So far, using man, I have come up with;


adduser -M -g openpbx

What else do I need?


I think that --disabled-password is the default if you don't specify a password, and to disable logins you can use "-s /sbin/nologin" to set the account's shell.

As Robert has noticed, there si more then one implementation of the adduser (and useradd) command.

I suggest "passwd -l openpbx" so as to be more confident.

If Robert wants to su to the account, he probably wants a standard shell, not nologin. If he doesn't want to tell anyone what happened if they chance to get a login to openpbx, then /bin/true is a fine shell. nologin prints a message, true just exits.
