Same as just about any other user. If you used the Distro packages...
from Debian's repositories, they typically have already done that work
for you.
Now if you installed form source, you'll have t do all that yourself..
To address the issue you've brought up:
usermod ---lock username
or
usermod -L username
Cheers!
