Try setting the shell to /bin/true (and make sure this is listed in /etc/shells). /bin/true returns a zero result and exits. It allows you to "log in" via daemons that require a valid shell, yet won't allow telnet-style access (no real shell, just a "true" result).

It runs and gives a nonzero return code. If you try to su to a user with a shell set to /dev/null, what happens? /bin/false just exits the su, even from root.
