Usual Behavior. Your ftp daemon probably works the same way. Make
their shell something like /bin/false and add /bin/false to /etc/shells
and you're all set.
(This lets you have two "shells that don't let people login directly"
while still enabling ftp/afp/smb access for one group of people and
completely blocking another group.)
