KEEPING PEOPLE OUT 
If you want to keep people
 of your server, but want them
 to access their pop mail on
 the same box set up the following
 line in the password file:
 
 babba:rtnRkIgCy4l4T:830:10:Babba Booie:/home/babba:/bin/nologin
 
 
 Then create a script called
 /bin/nologin that contains:
 
 #! /bin/sh
 echo "Sorry, but your account is only allowed POP access to this host."
 exit 1
 
 when a person attempts to log into
 their defined shell it will run
 the /bin/noling script, display
 the message, and exit them from
 the system
 
 Have Fun
