Anyone know how to block a user from TTY login, thus forcing them to use their personal login, BUT then allowing them to su - to the blocked account?
Changing shell to /sbin/nologin/ also blocks su - access.
Do I need to use PAM to do this? Ugh.
Thanks
AJ

Hi,
That will lock the initial login, and also prevent su - <user> from working as well.
To enable su - <user> I had to give the users sudo access,
and prevent su to root:
ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/su - <user> , ! /bin/su *root*
