when I use useradd of adduser in CentOS 3 or 4, the default shell a user gets /bin/bash. I want this to be changed to /bin/false for security reasons... How can I accomplish this?

useradd --help --> -s Shell

So just use that parameter like "-s /bin/false".

Alexander

I think what he means to do is not add that parameter each time he uses `useradd'

I believe the file you want to look for is /etc/default/useradd or somesuch.

Thanks!
