Hi Christian,

And thanks for this fast reply. To be honest, I tried to login directly through ssh, since this is the kind of login way I'm trying to limit. You're right : on my system too, su and login work well (and do not allow a homeless user). Maybe another ssh / pam issue then... I'll try to investigate further...

Btw, I'm using a OpenLDAP auth backend (that's why I need to limit logins on my systems). But it should not interfere...

Cheers,

Hi,

Setting DEFAULT_HOME to "no" in /etc/login.defs has no effect : users
without valid homedir are still able to log in.

Well, partly in French dans le texte:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> grep DEFAULT_HOME /etc/login.defs
DEFAULT_HOME    no
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> grep spongebob /etc/passwd
spongebob:x:1002:1002:Sponge Bob 
SquarePants,,,:/home/spongebob_has_no_home_but_a_pine_apple:/bin/bash
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> login
mykerinos login : spongebob

So, nothing wrong in my own environment.

The same happens with "su -". Login is still possible with "su" alone,
but that's the intended behaviour as, in such case, $HOME is inherited
from the environment of the user who calls "su".
