Hello group:

 

I want to thank Paul Andrews and Steve Hamilton for pointing me to the
/etc/default/security file (man security).

 

Once created and the entry ABORT_LOGIN_ON_MISSING_HOMEDIR installed the
user no longer is sent to "/" home.

 

 

Thank everyone who responded, my issue has been resolved.

Original post:

 

 

I'm using NIS to manage user accounts on 15 HP/UX 11.11 servers.

 

Although all users are managed in NIS I do not want them logging onto a host

On which they have no $HOME directory. Currently any user in the NIS map
which happens

to telnet to the wrong host is logged with "/" set as their home.

 

Unable to change directory to "/home/nistest"

Logging in with home = "/".

Please wait...checking for disk quotas

 

Even though they can not create, change or do much damage they can see and
list files etc.

How do I restrict a NIS user log on to only the hosts on which they have
home directories and abort?

Any logon to others.
