What about /bin/nologin, /bin/false or something similar as login-shell
in /etc/passwd?

If you want to disable non-root-logins completely, some distributions
(c.f. the pam-configfile for login -- /etc/pam.d/login or similar) 
check, whether a /etc/nologin-file exists. However,
I wouldn't recommend this because even a sysadmin shouldn't do everything
as root.
