Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.62-1
Severity: normal
Tags: security
file /etc/passwd reads:
Debian-exim:x:102:102::/var/spool/exim4:/bin/false
SUGGESTION
The new login package includes binary /bin/nologin which behaves the
as /bin/false, but helps with security auditions by leaving a trace
of login attempt to syslog.
Please chenge to use 'nologin' in place of 'false'
