Get a the sources to a version of passwd/chfn/chsh and recompile it after
modifying it to restrict as you want.
There are several versions floating around the net. There's probably also
code in /bsd-sources on ftp.uu.net, or on many other sites. You might also
want to check out /pub/npasswd or /pub/mnt/source/ut/npasswd (both
directories) on emx.utexas.edu. I found those using archie.
If you're on a SysV type system, you might be able to use the chfn in the
comp.sources.unix archives.
