If you prevent accounts with a "*" from logging in with a ssh key you
will break POLA. I know that I have several systems where the
password in master.passwd is set to "*" and I then log in via ssh
keys.
Also a "*" in the password file does not prevent a user logging in
when authenticating via Kerberos.
