Jawabannya
Kontributor superuser duDE, Toby Speight, dan bbaassssiiee memiliki jawaban untuk kami. Pertama, duDE:
This helps to prevent users from logging onto a system. Sometimes you need a user account for a specific task. Nevertheless, no one should be able to interact with this account on the computer. These are, on one hand, system user accounts. On the other hand, this is an account for which FTP or POP3 access is possible, but just no direct shell login.
If you look more closely at the /etc/passwd file, you will find the /bin/false command as a login shell for many system accounts. Actually, false is not a shell, but a command that does nothing and then also ends with a status code that signals an error. The result is simple. The user logs in and immediately sees the login prompt again.
Dilanjutkan dengan jawaban dari Toby Speight:
These users exist to be the owner of specific files or processes and are not intended to be login accounts. If the value of the “shell” field is not listed in /etc/shells, then programs such as FTP daemons do not allow access. Additionally, for programs that do not check /etc/shells, they make use of the fact that /bin/false will immediately return and deny an interactive shell.
Dan jawaban akhir kami dari bbaassssiiee:
Some users have /usr/bin/false, others have /sbin/nologin, or they may even have /usr/bin/passwd. They can either be system users that are needed to isolate program permissions or human users of programs that use the password files for authentication.
