The June 2013 installation with /sbin/nologin COULD have been installed with a
old DVD (say CentOS 6.2) and updated via Internet (I really don't remember).
It's my home server, I rebuilt it last summer.

The latest with /bin/bash is a CentOS VM hostd at www.cloudatcost.com

Nearly on the same period I created a VM at Hetzner.de, and it has /sbin/nologin

The funy thing is that both cloudatcost.com and hetzner.de are two VMs
provided with the "Minimal" installation and I installed mysql-server package
from the repositories. I am not sure if I chsh-ed the mysql account


Anyway, why assign an interactive shell to mysql???



Ciao,
