Daemon User
 

Sorry, moved this to the newbie section...how impolite of me.

I'm a Linux noob, but have been working with JBoss for a while now on windows. I am trying to follow JBoss's doc on getting the server to run as a service. I am attempting to create a user for this daemon. I believe I have it correct, yet when I attempt to run the service script I get the following:

[root@localhost opt]# /opt/jboss-4.0.1sp1/bin/jboss_init_redhat.sh start
CMD_START = cd /opt/jboss-4.0.1sp1/bin; /opt/jboss-4.0.1sp1/bin/run.sh -c all
su: warning: cannot change directory to /opt/jboss-4.0.1sp1/bin: Permission denied
This account is currently not available.

My thought is that this has something to do with the jbossd user account that I created.

From etc/passwd:
jbossd:x:501:3:JBoss Server:/opt/jboss-4.0.1sp1/bin:/sbin/nologin

Thanks,
T
