Personal preference in choosing shells: if they have access to a service on
the box, /bin/true; if they have no access at all, /bin/false; if they're
peasants who need telling that they have no access,
/usr/local/bin/buzzoff.sh or words to that effect.

(That way I can glance at passwd and say `do they have access? false'...)
