Can you please let me know how can i communicate with any one when i getting a doubt regarding topic is there any possibility to discuss one on one for doubt clarification. if any one know please help me.

To accommodate the backup agent tool’s specifications, the system admin team at xFusionCorp Industries requires the creation of a user with a non-interactive shell. Here’s your task:

Create a user named siva with a non-interactive shell on App Server 2.

how can i do this?

Will go step-by-step…

So you are asked to create a user, how would you do that?

Hi @mnsy ,

It appears your question is broken down into two steps.

Step 1: How do I get on to App Server 2?
Using ssh, it’s: ssh steve@stapp02 I used the documentation to figure out the user I have access to and the name of app server 2.

When you get in, enter the password in the documentation and then you move on to step 2.

Step 2: How do I create a user with non-interactive shell?
You probably tried useradd silva and that didn’t work.

the correct syntax is: sudo useradd -s /sbin/nologin username
and in your posted question: sudo useradd -s /sbin/nologin siva

Now, what is -s /sbin/nologin?
It’s the standard shell used to disable interactive login in Centos (you might need to read more this). However, that location may be different depending on the system, so it is a good practice to run: which nologin or ls -l /sbin/nologin /usr/sbin/nologin to help verify which path to use.

Also on the question of communicating with a person “one-on-one”. Honestly, I don’t think the Engineer platform is supposed to do that. There’s all kinds of tools to help with clarification. You can always post your questions here (I am new here but there is usually always GREAT help). Sometimes, I ask for guidance, rather than answers (so let us know what you need). Also, if it is a comment on the platform itself, there’s the feedback button on the Engineer site that you can use. There’s also another forum where you can post questions and I forget what that is called right now.

I hope you continue to enjoy your learning.
