There were 2 basic responses I got to this question.

1.) Create a shell called /bin/false and specify that as the login shell for
the username.

2.) Add a logout command to their .login file which will boot them out if they
try to log in.

I am opting for the first choice simply because it seems more secure.

Thanks to all who responded.
