Hey,

I think it's far more easy to go via the shell. Have a look into - i
think - pop_pass.c. There is a function which checks whether the user's
shell is a valid shell. Now, if you are giving all users that you want to
disable a shell such as popper.shell (which is a symlink to i.e. bash or
false) and you add a couple of lines of code into pop_pass.c where you
compare the shell retrieved by popper with "popper.shell", you are able
to lock those out...

hope this helps,

-p
