Dear all, I am running our mail system based on sendmail and RH 9. I am having users connected via pop3 to receive mail and some connected via imap. I would like to know what is the recommended method (in terms of security) in order to add a user with no shell and no home directory appeared under /home (so my pop3 clients do not have shell access in the system) just a box under /var/spool/mail. I am adding the imap users (so far) using the command useradd username. This creates for me a home directory so the users can store the inbox, outbox, deleted item etc folders. Then I am trying to give them minimal amount of privileges. Is any other way to add users (more secure, perhaps using useradd -s /bin/nologin username) which will provide with a home directory just for them to store mails with no shell access ? Is it possible (perhaps using usermod) to modify a user with no shell access (pop3) to imap user ?
