Morning,

After browsing through the /etc/passwd, I discovered that there are a
decent ammount of system accounts ( daemon, bin, locker , etc ... ) in
which could cause a security risk. Presently we are running C2 security
and wish to lock out those accounts ( u_lock_at_ --> u_lock ). We wish to
try an secure as mush a possiible the system, and have disabled all non
necessary shells. But I am worried about the effects of disabling thoses
accounts, on the system. I undertsand that I cannot just diactivate the
shells. So I am trying to find oother means.



p.s. Concerning the SINGLE USER MODE issue, we have reinstalled but yet
tested to see if the system will boot up in SINGLE USER MODE. I know I am
a bit tardy on a summary, but one is forth coming.

Thank you
