Because that's what pw is for...you don't need to worry about accidentally
deleting a colon, for example. A script using pw would also be a huge
timesaver over manually editing hundreds of entries, I'd think as well.
Of course, sed can do it even quicker, but with the same risks.

I think you can do this with:
sed 's!/bin/bash$!/sbin/nologin!' /etc/passwd /etc/passwd

sed -i .backup s,:/bin/bash$,:/sbin/nologin, /etc/passwd

/bin/bash! And what would you need this for?

DONT DO THAT this way. The result would be that your actual

I would not recommend using vipw or sed to change your users' shells.
I'd just create a file of users:
cat /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d: userlist
(Edit out any users you don't want to include):
then a scipt using pw to change their shells
#!/bin/sh
user=`awk '{print $1}' ./userlist`
