How do I go about doing this without deleting the user >account? So what will this user still be able to access? Denying access to a user could be achieved by changing his/her shell to "/sbin/nologin". I also think there is a port which also logs the attemps. This approach will allow you to temporarily deny access and when you want to re-instate this user you can just change the shell back. If this user is coming from a statis IP address you could use a firewall rule to only allow them specific access to some services.
