Here is an example of a user who is turned off. This shows the invalid
shell where it pulls out part of the passwd entry of another user. Note
the username in this is all the same user.
Wed Sep 3 08:33:34 2008 : Auth: rlm_unix: [username]: invalid password
Wed Sep 3 08:33:34 2008 : Auth: Login incorrect:
[username at vci.net/0844] (from client xx.xx.xx.xx port 3841982499 cli
mdvi11100400714)
Wed Sep 3 08:33:48 2008 : Auth: rlm_unix: [username]: invalid shell
[*one Oak United Methodist:/home/loumc:/bin/false*
