[lug] ftp only login

[Deva Samartha]

I've tested only ssh since the telnet, rlogin, etc are off.

ssh allows log in with that account but cranks up the nologin program and 
exits with the message.

Maybe signals are an issue - but one has to be really quick to get the 
brief moment (the program is 2 k stripped) and create a signal and crash 
the program - I don't think that's an issue.

with the sendmail receiving email - I am not sure, but with postfix, 
aliasing the login name to a nonexisting name bounces the email back, 
whereas pointing .forward to a nonexisting user puts it into the account's 
email box.
