I have several users added to a RH 5.0 machine so they can get their email from IMAP.  However, I want
to change their accounts so they cannot access the machine.  In other words, they get no shell if they log in.
What is the best way to do this?  I need to be able to do this from the command line as the GUI
tools are not available.  What needs to be used as a replacement for the standard shell in each users entry.
TIA
