Hi folks,
What does everyone here have in their /etc/passwd file for the 'nobody'
user? I've never had to create one before so I've come up with:
nobody:x:99:99:nobody::
I honestly have no idea on what sane values for the home directory and
command interpreter fields would be, as I'd never envisage wanting/being
able to log in as 'nobody'.
FWIW, my Kubuntu system has '/nonexistent' as the home directory and
/bin/sh as the login shell. Note that passwd(5) states that if the
command interpreter field is empty, it defaults to the value /bin/sh.
Maybe it's better to be explicit rather than implicit though?
Regards,
Matt.
