shutdown and halt accounts

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

 



I noticed that there are shutdown and halt accounts on my RHEL ES4 servers:

From /etc/passwd:

halt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin:/sbin/halt
shutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown

Are these accounts needed?

Do they pose any security risk?

Thanks!

Bill
