    As I figure it, you must edit /etc/passwd for this purpose. under Linux
    you can set the login shell to /sbin/nologin. /bin/false comes to mind
    if the system does not support it. Or else you can set the password
    entry to an impossible value.
    I don't know any solution, which does not alter passwd.
