I am still new to Arch, and I am trying to run a server on Arch. I am trying to create my serv user. What is the command for this?
This worked on Ubuntu Server(Debian), but not on Arch.
Arch:
[jesse@Chronos]# su
Password:
[root@Chronos]# adduser --disabled-login serv
bash: adduser: command not found

One problem, I cannot find an option to disable the log in for a user. The "--disabled-login" does not work.

One way to do this, and I don't know if this is the preferred way, is to set the shell to nologin. So the useradd command would look like:
useradd -s /usr/bin/nologin username
Checkout the manpage for nologin for more details.

I'm not particularly familiar with perl, but from examining the source it looks like --disabled-login affects password rather than shell.
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

That did the trick. Thanks.
