Hi,
The simplest is to set the user's shell to /bin/false instead of bash . Soemthing like :
# /usr/sbin/useradd -d /home/user1 -s /bin/false -c "Joesph User" -g mail user1
This prevents logon because there is no interactive shell . Also, you can put all users into a specific security group (e.g. mail) for good measure. If you add accounts from the command line like that you also have to set their password :
# passwd user1
Hope this helps
