Description Robert 2015-02-12 11:52:13 UTC
Description of problem:
The mldonkey-server package creates the mldonkey user with a bash shell by default. For security reasons /sbin/nologin may be a better option. There is a very similar discussion about the mysql user in bug #984762.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=984762

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mldonkey-server-3.1.5-3.fc21

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install mldonkey-server
2. grep mldonkey /etc/passwd

Actual results:
/bin/bash is the default shell

Expected results:
/sbin/nologin is the default shell
