Hi all,
I've been wondering how to deal with this particular issue for quite

some time now, and I can't find any references to "the right way"(TM)

to handle it.
I always prefer to run automated tasks as limited privilege users on

my OpenBSD hosts - such as tasks that pull files across from other

hosts, and other such nightly tasks.  To make this work the drop priv

user account needs a shell and a home dir (for SSH keys etc), and has

no need for a password.  However this causes the /etc/security script

to generate warnings every night such as,
"""

Login nightlysync is off but still has a valid shell and alternate

access files in home directory are still readable.

"""
The tasks that this user performs are scheduled through cron.
Is there a better way for me to be setting up these kinds of tasks so

that this warning doesn't get raised ?  Or is the warning spurious ?
Cheers

Dave
