Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to take away the "admin" user shell access? After a
particulary concerted effort to break into my system, I'm trying to further
secure things, and I wish to remove shell access for any ID that might
possibly be associated with the Cobalt system. There doesn't seem to be a
"checkbox" for denying admin this right. Is there some way to do this
through the shell? If so, explicite directions would be appreciated.
Realizing that I do need access, I've already created a user that will have
no use except to be the shell user..and this user is able to su to
root...tested and retested..:)
thanks,
Diana Brake
