[PLUG] /dev/null for a login shell

[Michael Rasmussen]

I know you can use /dev/null as a login shell for user accounts for
restricted access - for example accounts that will allow a user to ftp to
a box.

reference: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap29sec295.html

However, can you use the mechanism for running binaries with a specific ID?

running the binary SUID or from a startup file that sudos to the ID in
question.
