Subject:	[gentoo-user] Locking down a user with a shell account and SSH access

1	My backup user needs a shell on the backup server in order to execute
2	rsync and needs to be included in /etc/ssh/sshd_config AllowUsers in
3	order to SSH in. My authorized_keys file is locked-down. The second
4	field for the user in /etc/shadow is an exclamation point which I
5	think means the user can not log in with a password. Should I take
6	any additional steps to prevent that user from logging in and not
7	being subject to the authorized_keys restrictions?
