 Unix Tip #4039- March  3, 2012
 
KEEPING PEOPLE OUT  
  
If you want to keep people  
of your server, but want them  
to access their pop mail on  
the same box set up the following  
line in the password file:  
  
babba:rtnRkIgCy4l4T:830:10:Babba Booie:/home/babba:/bin/nologin  
  
  
Then create a script called  
/bin/nologin that contains:  
  
#! /bin/sh  
echo "Sorry, but your account is only allowed POP access to this host."  
exit 1  
  
when a person attempts to log into  
their defined shell it will run  
the /bin/noling script, display  
the message, and exit them from  
the system  
  
Have Fun
