What is the login shell?
{MB} The Hurd has the concept of a not-logged in user. This user has neither user ids nor groups ids. This stems from the fact that the Hurd supports uid and gid sets and one possibility is, of course, the empty set. Rather than deny access in this case, filesystems in the Hurd offer a fourth permission triplet (i.e. rwx) which is used to determine the privileges for users with no credentials. This, however, needs to be enabled on a file by file basis. By default, the `other’ permission triplet is used. The Hurd login shell is a shell running with neither uids nor gids. To restrict access to your files, either enable and change the fourth permission triplet or change the login shell of the `login’ user in the password file to `/bin/loginpr’ which implements the standard login prompt.
