/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.
Keep this one in your toolbox: "man -k some-keyword", meaning "find me
man pages that have 'some-keyword' in their description". This is the
same as the "apropos" command.
