In the login.defs file there is a switch to disable logins for users by
putting NOLOGIN in the shell field in the /etc/passwd file. This is
supposed to disable logins but still allow "su".  When I do a "usermod -s
NOLOGIN testuser" and try to login under testuser I get an error that it
can't execute NOLOGIN : No such file or directory.  When I try to su -
testuser I get the same error and don't get logged in as that user.  Can
anyone help me with this.

In my /etc/login.defs file, in the description for this option, it says "This
option is not implemented right now..."
