  <shrug>  If the flag means "disabled OR non-normal", then you can't
have it both ways.  If you want to allow non-normal accounts, you have
to ignore the flag.  If you want to disable users, you have to look at
the flag.  The two situations aren't compatible.

  You could always put disabled users into a "disabled" group, and check
that.
