I received several emails from folks, but this email from Brad Morrison is what i was looking for. We are a sudo shop, so sudo was already installed. I just had to modify the sudoers file with this information: To set up user "joe" to sudo to psoft on ALL hosts, use: Cmnd_Alias PSOFT=/usr/bin/su - psoft, /usr/bin/su psoft joe ALL=PSOFT Then in the /etc/shadow file, I locked out the psoft account out buy putting in a non-valid password. Thanks!!! Cheers, Jim >>> "Jim Langston" <JLANGSTON@mail.mcg.edu> 5/3/2006 9:07:47 AM >>> I have a question about preventing a user from logging in directly. I only want to be able to su - over to it from another account. I know that you can prevent root from logging in directly by setting up the /dev/console setting in the /etc/default/login file, but is it possible to do this for a regular user?
