Hello,                                                                                 
                           

I would like user guest with shell /bin/true to login to X such that he/she
can only run netscape.  I really need that user not to have any shell access.
On Red Hat 7.2, I set guest's xsession to load fvwm and in .fvwmrc loaded
netscape.                                                                              
                           

Since upgrading to 7.3, X fails to load the given shell /bin/true. Changing
the shell to bash, X loads netscape without fail.

Thinking it might be pam problem, I left only the file 'other' in /etc/pam.d,
where other contains:                                                                  
                           

auth     required       pam_unix.so
account  required       pam_unix.so
password required       pam_unix.so
session  required       pam_unix.so                                                    
                           

And the above did not work.  I also added /bin/true to /etc/shells, did not
make a difference.                                                                     
                           

It seems to me that X needs a valid shell to able to work or there is something
else I am missing.                                                                     
                           

Any help would be greatly appreciated.                                                 
                           

Thanking you.                                                                          
                           

Regards,
Kailesh Mussai
