possible to lock accounts (passwd -l) and still allow acct to ssh to other server?

Even though the accounts are not directly logging in, they still need to login and hence cannot be set to /bin/false or /bin/nologin.
The only thing I can think of is to have users execute batch files from some other system. The batch file connects to your prod servers using only SSH keys and do what ever they have to do.
That way users don't have to 'su' on your Production and accidentally lock up the accounts.
Use SSH keys. You can even restrict IP or hostname access with these keys.
P.S. I would tell users to stop 'su' if they are not sure about the password first time...
HTH,

libgnome-keyring
libgnome-keyring(3) C Library Functions libgnome-keyring(3) NAME
libgnome-keyring - gnome keyring library. DESCRIPTION
GNOME Keyring is a system to store passwords and other sensitive data in a standardized way across all GNOME applications. A keyring stores a collection of encrypted passwords and encrypted information about those passwords. A user can have multiple keyrings, each for a different use, but there is a default one, called 'login'. There is also a special 'session' keyring which is not stored on disk and goes away when you log out. When a user logs into GNOME, the keyrings are locked and a master keyring password has to be provided in order to unlock each of them. GNOME Keyring includes an SSH agent which integrates with the gnome-keyring and user login for its passwords. It can also use the main X.509 private key store. GNOME Keyring will set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable when it starts up. The id_rsa and id_dsa files in ~/.ssh are automatically usable through the SSH agent without first 'loading' them. Other X.509 private keys marked with the 'ssh-authentication' purpose are also usable. Additional SSH keys can be manually loaded and managed via the ssh-add command. If you use another SSH agent(such as the ssh-agent included with OpenSSH), you may want to disable the SSH agent in GNOME Keyring to pre- vent ssh from using it instead of your prefered SSH agent. You can set /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh gconf key to false. This prevents the SSH component of gnome-keyring from starting up when the user logs in. ATTRIBUTES
