 You might be able to duplicate their username in an scl_users folder in
the 'secure' directory, and give them a random password. The local
acl_users would take priority, thus locking them out unless they know
the (randomly generated, hard-to-crack) password.

It may or may not work, but i believe it will, having accidentally shot
myself in the foot before doing something simliar.
