/sbin/nologin displays a configurable message that the account is not
available, /bin/false does not. man login is your friend.

Yes, Brian..... man login is indeed my friend. The real problem is that I didn't think to look there. I googled stuff like Linux Users, did man useradd, man pam, but never having typed in "login", I didn't think to look there.

Man pages etc. have all the information; the problem is knowing where to look.

Everyday I learn new things.

Thanks
