Users without an allowed shell (the usual entry to make there is /bin/false) are denied access, usually even in services that never spawn a shell in the first place, e.g. IMAP or graphical sessions. See also pam_shells(8). This has little to do with SSH, but it makes /bin/false a bad example for a shell here, since the aforementioned mechanism might lead to nothing being executed at all, not even /bin/false.
