Create the user named eric and deny to interactive login.

Answer and Explanation:

useradd eric

passwd eric

vi /etc/passwd

eric:x:505:505::/home/eric:/sbin/nologin

Which shell or program should start at login time is specified in /etc/passwd file. By default Redhat Enterprise Linux assigns the /bin/bash shell to the users. To deny the interactive login, you should write /sbin/nologin or /bin/false instead of login shell.
