It can disable the account for you instantly (usermod -L username) or after a certain time frame (usermod -e)
But Franks suggestion will work equally well...just in case you don't fancy editing the shadow file manually :)

Hi there,
I'd like to expire an user, so he is no longer able to login to a machine using ssh. How can you acomplish this? I would like to keep the user, and all its information (including password, public/private keys...) so I can reactivate it later.
Regards, Jose
