Depending on the OS - the usermod command can lock accounts. You can also change the login shell to /bin/false or something.

and edit the password entry belonging to that user. Either (1) remove the line, (2) change the shell to /bin/false, or (3) change the password field to "x". There are other possibilities that are OS-specific, as Frank said. In Linux, you can look at the files in /etc/security.
