Same thing here
But as per my understanding, you wrote wrong /usr/sbin/nologin instead of /sbin/nologin.
Yes, I did write that, but not mistakenly. I did it on purpose because I know that RHEL based distros (such the kodecloud containers) link the /sbin to usr/sbin. So although the path is different, the program itself is the same and has the same functionality, that is also why I cannot su - to the user (I checked before submitting the task). In the new screenshot below you can see both the link I mention, the inode, that shows it is the same file on the disk and the fact that it has the same functionality in a Centos 7 VM.
To summarize, I think the validation should be based on the result and not how it got there. If that is too difficult or out-of-scope, then at least give a hint about not using the /usr/… path.

That is correct. Looks likes a technical error. @Inderpreet @Ayman @kodekloud-support3 Can we get confirmation that this is being looked at? Is the expectation to use /sbin/nologin and not /usr/sbin/nologin ?
I am facing the same problem,
I have logged in as a user in appo3 but while logging as root to create user, it is asking for root password, what should I fill
Hello, @hisham.albeik
You can check the already assigned shell in the /etc/passwd. Which is valid or not.
Hello, @Vikrant
What steps did you follow to ssh to app03 server?
You can try below command:
ssh banner@stapp03
For the correct password, check the below documentation.
Hello @Tej-Singh-Rana, thanks for replying. Please see the screenshot. I am entering the password " BiGgr33n" as per the document.is there something else I am supposed to enter.
Strange. Did you try sudo -i?
I’m aware of that. But that is not the concern. The concern is that even though a non-interactive shell was definitely created (even checked through login attempts). The method to achieve it was not what the “script” that checks expected (/usr/sbin/nologin vs /sbin/nologin). Either the script should check that the user does indeed have a non-interactive shell, or the question needs to be specific as to which executable should be used to achieve the desired result.
go through video to understand where you made mistake

hey, thanks
But unfortunately, it says " This account is currently not available".
@manunair270 Yes, that’s a valid error you are getting. If you have set a non-interactive shell for a user then you won’ be able to login into that user and should get such error.
