  • Cool, that yields a different behaviour again! What if I were to expand a little and give the reason for /sbin/nologin' as the user's shell is that it's a service account used to launch an application with an init script, and the su` command is part of that script? Would I want that to be a login shell? Commented Aug 16, 2018 at 11:53
