/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
