Bug#5212: Isn't the correct way to prevent logins....
Doesn't the correct, standard way to prevent all logins from an account
consist of set the password to '*' ?
I believe that prevents xdm logins, unless I'm very much mistaken.
(If I am mistaken, this bug is much more serious than I thought.)
Given that that works, I think this bug (which complains that users with
shell /bin/true or /bin/false can log in) probably qualifies as bogus.
If you want to make *some* methods of user login possible and not others,
that's another matter; I don't really know how to do that, but I don't think
it's xdm's problem.
