&gt;&gt;By using /sbin/nologin in /etc/passwd (done when creating the users via
&gt;&gt;useradd of course).  Maybe I am phrasing this wrong...  Anyway, any ideas?
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; How about giving them a shell, but setting their password to ! or some
such?
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; These are their mail accounts.  They need their password to access the
&gt; messages...
