FALSELOGIN(1)

πŸ’– FALSELOGIN β€” a false login shell πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for falselogin, from section 1 of the General Commands Manual (that's the "user commands" girlies, iykyk) 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

falselogin β€” a false login shell πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/usr/bin/falselogin

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so falselogin is literally this tiny little application that can deny the user to log in the system while showing them a custom message of your choosing. it's giving "no entry, but make it aesthetic" 🚫✨


πŸŽ€ CONFIGURATION πŸŽ€

the config file for falselogin lives at /etc/falselogin.conf β€” that's its home, its main character address πŸ πŸ’œ

Everything you write into that file gets written at login, periodt. except for a few special strings that get substituted whenever they show up in the config file. here's the full roster, no skips:

  • %mail% string β€” the number of mail messages sitting in the user's mailbox πŸ“¬
  • %user% string β€” the username 🧚
  • %sysname% string β€” the sysname from uname. (eg: Linux)
  • %nodename%, %host% strings β€” the hostname. (eg: master)
  • %release% string β€” Linux kernel version number (eg: 2.0.36)
  • %version% string β€” Linux version number (eg: #8 Sun Dec 20 12:02:31 CET 1998)
  • %machine% string β€” machine type (eg: i686)
  • %debian_version% string β€” Debian version from /etc/debian_version

πŸ’… PARAMETERS πŸ’…

  • --wait, -w waitfor β€” if waitfor is a number, falselogin will sleep for waitfor seconds before exiting 😴; if waitfor matches the word enter, then falselogin will wait for the user to input the enter key ⏎✨
