Restricting logins

Certain servers have a restricted list of users who can log in, since they are tasked to special purposes which should not be interfered with by regular user processes. Those machines currently include:

manatee - file server
minke - file server
snapper - CAPA server

In order to make the machines restricted the following files need to be edited:

`/etc/passwd`	Add these as the last lines:`+@systemfolks:*: +::-1:-1:::/bin/machinenologin`
`/etc/shadow`	Add this as the last line:`+::::::::`
`/etc/nsswitch.conf`	Comment out this line `#passwd: files nis` and replace it with `passwd: compat` `passwd_compat: nis`
`/etc/init.d/rpc`	uncomment `EMULYP="-Y"` and then restart rpc
`/bin/machinenologin`	Create a no login scripts for each machine, with its own name, so that machines must be made restricted one by one after careful consideration.
