    If I have a client on a package that does not have shell access, but I want to give the client shell access, how do I do that? Modify account will not let me change that.

    Thanks.

    chsh -s /bin/bash username

    Change the username to the customers username.

    NOTE: I have not tested it but I think it is the correct command. Use at your own risk. I am crazy and edit the passwd file directly.

    At the shell type

    pico /etc/passwd

    You will see lines with :/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell at the end. Those are users without shell access. To change them to have access do this.

    Change :/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell to :/bin/bash and this will allow their login.


    Yes I copied and pasted from a post I just made with a little editing =]

    No problem. Glad it worked and for future refrence you can just put :/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell back to take their access.
