Subject: [gentoo-user] Locking down a user with a shell account and SSH access
Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2013 16:24:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAN0CFw0fijDtZ5XZFnrD_cd5L7k+jr=EL8D8am_NJPthv3hWYg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
My backup user needs a shell on the backup server in order to execute
rsync and needs to be included in /etc/ssh/sshd_config AllowUsers in
order to SSH in. My authorized_keys file is locked-down. The second
field for the user in /etc/shadow is an exclamation point which I
think means the user can not log in with a password. Should I take
any additional steps to prevent that user from logging in and not
being subject to the authorized_keys restrictions?
