- First put in all the people you *want* to have access:
-
- +usera::::::
- +userb::::::
-
- Then make the last line look like this:
-
- +::::::/bin/false
-
- (or, to be friendlier, make the shell some one-line script which does something
- like "/bin/echo Sorry, you are not authorized to use this machine.")
