Maybe I'm wrong but in man pages is nothing about difference between these
two shells. Of course I had firstly searched man pages before I asked my
question here.
from manpages:
"nologin displays a message that an account is not available and exits
non-zero. It is intended as a replacement shell field for accounts
that
have been disabled.
If the file /etc/nologin.txt exists, nologin displays its contents to
the
user instead of the default message."
So I supposed that in case of "nologin" shell, user account will be
completely disabled.

Hello to everybody
I meant that nologin shell disallows access for user account on all
services.
But I'm still able to connect to FTP server and POPA3D even that userID
has
assigned nologin shell. Is it correct behaviour? If so, where is
difference
between nologin shell and false shell.
It is correct behaviour. The difference between nologin and false is
descibed in the man page of nologin.
