Why don't you run "vipw" and put a * at the begegining of thier
password. For example, change this:
luser:$1$xtp9K$gPT1/ii2srm2mm4OXQDnt.:1006:1006::0:0:Luser:/home/luser:/bin/csh
to this:
luser:*$1$xtp9K$gPT1/ii2srm2mm4OXQDnt.:1006:1006::0:0:Luser:/home/luser:/bin/csh
^^^
this will not allow them to login, but once they pay, you take the
start out and they can login back again with the same password.
