- Subject: [tlug] non-login users
Hello, I wanted to create a non-login user, but I did the mistake of just executing useradd without any flags: # useradd wsgiuser Anyway, after doing this I modified /etc/password and deleted the newly created /home/wsgiuser directory. The entry for this user in /etc/password looks like this: wsgiuser:x:501:502::/tmp:/sbin/nologin The problem is that fedora's GUI login screen lists wsgiuser as a login user (I am using KDE in fedora 15. I don't know how this window manager stuff works, but I think this login screen is gnome's and then somehow KDE is started) It seems that useradd created an entry for this user in a file other that /etc/password, which is referred by the GUI login application. Any hint on what I should modify to prevent this non-login user to appear? Thank you, Hector
