Solaris 5.10 shell replacement for Centos 7 migration












0















I have an old Solaris 5.10 server. I'm migrating the tomcat products to Centos 7. There are two accounts on the Solaris server that I need to migrate. The shells for both of those accounts are identified as "/usr/local/bin/ftponly". This looks like a simple SH script, but I can't tell if it came with the server or if a previous admin (or vendor tech) wrote it. This script and "/bin/sh" are the only items in "/etc/shells".



On the new Centos 7 server, I chose "/usr/sbin/nologin" as the two users's shells. "/usr/local/bin/ftponly" on the old server is a human readable script, but "/usr/sbin/nologin" appears to be a binary file. FTP transactions on the new server with the two user accounts in question are working, and SSH is denied.



Am I good to go or are there larger considerations with the available shells? My bread and butter Linux OS is Ubuntu, so some of the security built-ins of Centos have me scratching my head at times.
