No you want restricted not disabled: The nologin command displays a message that an account is not available and exits non-zero. It is intended as a replacement shell field for accounts that have been disabled. The rsh and the .profile of the home dir, which you set up, controls what they can do. You can set their $PATH to a dir with 4 commands, for instance.
Code:
$ whence rsh
/usr/bin/rsh
$ rsh -h
$ rsh
$ ps -f
   UID   PID  PPID  C    STIME TTY       TIME COMMAND
my_id       1007 24683  0 17:12:37 ttyp9     0:00 rsh -h
my_id       1032  1024 51 17:12:54 ttyp9     0:00 ps -f
my_id       1024  1007  0 17:12:51 ttyp9     0:00 rsh
my_id     24683 24682  0 08:41:54 ttyp9     0:00 -ksh
$ pwd
/home/my_id
$ cd /tmp
rsh: cd: The operation is not allowed in a restricted shell.

PUBLIC is used to match all present and future user names in the system. server_name Server name of the user mapping. EXAMPLES
