Disbale nagios shell access

Post by nagiosbeginner »

Hi All,

cat /etc/passwd | grep nagios
nagios:x:992:989::/home/nagios:/bin/bash

What's the impact if I disable the nagios shell ?

Command to disable:
usermod -s /bin/false nagios

nagios:x:992:989::/home/nagios:/bin/false

This is account is created during setup and required to run check commands. Basically, everything is run using the naigos account.
