    Hi,

            I'm creating a bunch of users on the server that only needs to have
    samba file share access. Their Shell is /sbin/nologin.

    Currently, all of them have home directories, which I do not want.
    Can I put in /dev/null as their default home directory??

    Cheers,
    OW
