On Linux, use the '-s' switch with usermod or useradd (or perhaps chuser 
and adduser on BSD -- syntax may vary). For example,

     usermod -s /usr/bin/passwd some_user

(assuming that passwd is located in /usr/bin on your system). Or, you 
could just edit the /etc/passwd file and replace /bin/false with 
/usr/bin/passwd.
