As far as I understood your target ist to avoid shell-login for marc.
I haven't tested the following suggestion, but give it a try.
Change the line in /etc/passwd, which is defining user marc to something
  like:
marc:x:<uid>:<gid>:<full name>:/dev/null:/bin/false
So he has a home directory and a login shell wich obviously aren't some.
Without a shell, a home directory seems useless to me.

        Good luck

P.S.: BTW, posting the same message to more than 3 newsgroups is hurting
netiquette. Many people will flame or simply ignore you.
