[ale] disabled accounts and pam

[darjo at arches.uga.edu (Clint Ricker)]

Two possible solutions...if you are wanting to disable accross the
network, then append a SUSPEND (or something else obvious) to their
password block so their password doesn't match.  Then remove it to
reenable the account.  Another method is to just change their shell
(assuming a unix only environment).

If you are wanting to disable the account only for a particularly system,
set /etc/nsswitch.conf file is set to do files before ldap (it probably
is a good idea to do this anyway), and then create the account on the
local system.

Hope this helps!
