You mentioned console access in your first email. This will limit ssh
access. Console access means sitting down at the system and logging in.
I think that is different. I believe the suggestion by David would
limit console access.

Joseph,
I had tried that but not work. Finally, I found an article in The
Secure Shell - The Definitive Guide from O'Reilly shows how to do
this... just simply add following entry into /etc/sshd_config.
Stop/start sshd daemon.
DenyUsers <account id>
Thanks for all your help, guys.

David,
Have a look at /etc/security/access.conf. You can restrict logon access
there, but su should still work. Otherwise, you could setup sudo.
Regards,
Joseph

Hi,
How do I restrict an user login direct from console but still allow
others to use su to switch account to this user? I'm talking about a
regular account not root account.
Thanks,
David
