Title:
  adduser --disabled-login still allows for SSH RSA keys login

Status in “adduser” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  adduser --disabled-login --gecos "" --shell /bin/bash testuser

  
  I am not prompted for a password as expect, but if I create a .ssh/authorized_keys file (say it was in my /etc/skel/) in the home directory of the new user I can login as that user using SSH keys.  The --disabled-password is meant for that.

  I should not be able to login at all.

  Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit Server edition.

  
  The fix would be to also set the account to be immediately expired in the same manner as doing "usermod --expiredate 1" does in addition to marking the password disabled.

  If this fix cannot be done then the man page for adduser should be
  updated to warn about this.
