Or on some operating systems, they provide you a /bin/nologin for no apparent reason, when /bin/false works just as well; Still, if it's there, you might as well use it just to conform to the usual method. BTW, one thing I have done on an occasion or two is put /bin/true into /etc/shells so you can set someone's shell to it and then they can FTP but not log in (due to their shell returning "true" and exiting.) - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
