Add the user like a normal user but fr the sehll put in something bogus like /usr/bin/false r something like that. If you want to make thing official you can actually make a shell called /usr/bin/false with an echo statement saying you cannot log into this account via a shell and put this line in the /etc/shells. We do it all the time fr mail-only users. > 2.

The quota for general Linux will wrk fr this I believe but at this pint I'm nly guessing. -- I'm not under the alkafluence of inkahol that some thinkle peep I am. It's just the drunker I sit here the longer I get. -- Raul A. Gallegos mailto:raul at asmodean.net - http://www.asmodean.net
