Hi
I tried with bash --login option. but the output is
siva:~$ bash --login
siva:~$
is there any way to make the shell ask for user id and password ( and login as different user instead of using sudo / su )
Thx in advance
Siva
/etc/passwd has an entry for your login shell. You should not edit /etc/passwd, rather start by reading the man page for passwd for your system. Some systems support something with syntax like
passwd -e /bin/someshell
sorry it did not worked out.
Also,
passwd -e <account>
makes the password expiry of that account.
Thx,
Siva
chsh might work on some systems
