Hi Alex!
Haven't seen you around in a long time. What's the haps man?
A bit busy in the last weeks - and did post enough in the last year on the Fedora list ;)
Here's a side question in relation to the shell. Which convention is more correct, or does it even matter. /bin/false or /bin/nologin?
With the /sbin/nologin shell you get a feedback that the account login is disabled. /bin/false is just silent. What you use depends on specific target. For login-less FTP user account for example I prefer /bin/false.
