    Does anyone have a recommendation for assigning an invalid shell to a user? I was going to add /dev/null to the list of valid shells and use that, but if there are other recommendations, I'd be happy to hear them.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    It's an executable that exits immediately, rather than a device file.
