Hi,
I'm creating a bunch of users on the server that only needs to have samba file share access. Their Shell is /sbin/nologin.
Currently, all of them have home directories, which I do not want. Can I put in /dev/null as their default home directory??
I've always used /dev/null for non-users that don't need to store any regular user config files and haven't had a problem yet.
I don't know if it's the recommended method, but it certainly seems to work.
