How to delete user account at login menu?

Hi Mpig

I assume ampps and mysql are the result of a software package installation? If you didn't remove the sofware do you want to delete those accounts or just have them not appear at login?

I *think* if you append the account name in the /etc/passwd file with
:/user/sbin/nologin
it will prevent the account from displaying at login.

Here's an example from my /etc/passwd file. See how each of these account names end with :/usr/sbin/nologin

mail:x:8:8:mail:/var/mail:/usr/sbin/nologin
news:x:9:9:news:/var/spool/news:/usr/sbin/nologin
games:x:5:60:games:/usr/games:/usr/sbin/nologin


Please be cautious and backup the /etc/passed file first.
