	This works on a linux machine:

uuencode /bin/nologin </bin/nologin
begin 664 /bin/nologin
M(R$O8FEN+V)A<V@*96-H;R!4:&ES(&%C8V]U;G0@:7,@8W5R<F5N=&QY(&YO
5="!A=F%I;&%B;&4N"F5X:70@,0H*
`
end
---
(FYI: cat /bin/nologin:
#!/bin/sh
echo This account is currently not available.
exit 1

A binary version is listed as being in util-linux-2.23.2, FWIW.
