Good point, but will changing the shell to /dev/null or /dev/false screw 
up any of the services checks?  ...or should I just try it and find out? 
  Also, I figure I could set the account up so that id the login isn't 
from the localhost to log out immediately.  Not pretty, but very easy to 
set up.
