How to disable user in HP-UX,

Asked by kecoak in HP-UX Unix, Unix Operating Systems

Tags: user, disable

I saw an exclamation mark "!" after the username in /etc/passwd. Does it mean that the user is disabled or it means that they used shadow file?

Anyway how do you disable a particular user in HP-UX?
1) one way i reckon would be put /bin/false on the default shell
any other way? I reckon by put Asterix on the /etc/shadow file also would do the job?
