Add your "shell" to the list in /etc/shells (see "man shells" for some
details).
Actually, I prefer to use a trivial /usr/local/sbin/nologin, which writes
a "Not authorised" type message to stdout and waits for three seconds
before exiting:
cat <<! >nologin.c && CFLAGS=-O3 LDFLAGS=-s make nologin
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
puts ("This account is currently not available");
sleep (3);
exit (0);
}
