CentOS - Feb 2005 - how to change default shell when using adduser/useradd

Hi,
when I use useradd of adduser in CentOS 3 or 4, the default shell a user 
gets /bin/bash.
I want this to be changed to /bin/false for security reasons...
How can I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

useradd --help --> -s Shell

So just use that parameter like "-s /bin/false".

adduser -s /bin/false loginname

if the  user is already created... you can use chsh to change their shell.
ie: chsh -s /bin/false loginname

Refer to useradd(8) manual page.
