I have perused many a FAQ without finding much on this topic-- What
is the best way to create an account with no interactive shell, but
with the ability to retrieve mail via POP? I created an account with
the shell given as /nonexistent (the "no" option in adduser), and
that seems to work fine except that adduser complains about "illegal
shell" during the check process. Are there any problems with doing
this this way? Is there a better way to accomplish this?
