Administration
IMPORTANT: You can't disable the
general login function for externally
defined (eDirectory) users. For local
users, this is commonly done by
changing the login shell indicated in
/etc/passwd to /bin/false.
Some Linux administrators
habitually switch to single-user
mode (init 1) to accomplish this.
This causes eDirectory and other
OES services to shut down, which
is probably not desirable in most
cases, and is certainly not
equivalent to DISABLE LOGIN on
NetWare, which allows services to
continue to run even though logging
in is disabled.
— TTS is not available for NSS
volumes on OES-Linux.
Journaled Linux file systems, such
as Ext3, are capable of providing
similar functionality. For example,
the Journal
journaling provides a service similar
to TTS. For a brief summary of
which file systems support
journaling, see

Installation and Administration
Guide.
