Most users in our linux/unix system have no ability to login, because the shell is /sbin/nologin (or even /bin/false). But sometimes we need to execute a command or to get in the shell under those users and when we try to switch the user to let’s sat nginx or apache or nagios we get an error:root@srv # su nginxThis account is currently not available.root@srv # su apacheThis account is currently not available.root@srv # su nagiosThis account is currently not available.root@srv # su nrpeThis account is currently not available.But still we need to run a command or commands from that user! So we can do it with instructing the su command which shell to execute for us not taking into account the one in /etc/passwd:su nagios -s /bin/bashAnd now we are user “nagios”:root@srv # su nagios -s /bin/bashbash-4.2$ whoaminagiosGo and execute commands to see why something is not working under you nagios user Author Posted on Categories Tags,.
