Hi!

Make the default-shell for the user in question /bin/false - be sure this is in the /etc/shells-file. If the /etc/shells-file is not there, create it, and be sure ALL used shells on the system is in here, an example could be:

/bin/false
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/rsh
/sbin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
