Sure it's possible -- just give each user an unusable shell (/bin/false
is popular but a custom script that echoes "Logins disabled for this
accout" or something similar is more friendly. The only security
concern I can think of is that there may be other services like FTP that
don't check for a valid shell before allowing access.
