DONT DO THAT this way. The result would be that your actual
shell truncates the file '/etc/passwd' to zero length and
then launches the 'sed'.

In FreeBSD you must use 'vipw' (see its man page) and in the
vi launched by 'vipw' you may use something like:

:1,$s-/bin/bash$-/sbin/nologin-

Only do this if your familar with 'vi'.
