How to restrict console login

[David Nguyen]

Joseph,

I had tried that but not work.  Finally, I found an article in The Secure Shell - The Definitive Guide from O'Reilly shows how to do this... just simply add following entry into /etc/sshd_config.  Stop/start sshd daemon.

DenyUsers  <account id>

Thanks for all your help, guys.

David,

Have a look at /etc/security/access.conf.  You can restrict logon access
there, but su should still work.  Otherwise, you could setup sudo.

Regards,

Joseph

Hi,

How do I restrict an user login direct from console but still allow
others to use su to switch account to this user?  I'm talking about a
regular account not root account.

Thanks,
David
