Try to  add /sbin/nologin to /etc/shells
When you add a user, change his shell in /etc/passwd to /sbin/nologin

Another one question in this topic  - for sftp services one need a shell
account with interactive shell. If I don't want to allow users to login
but
I want to use sftp then what should I do?
(of course i may be wrong, but I haven't found the way to do that)
