Hi guys:
Thanks for the input and helpful suggestions. I prefer the solution that
allows a FTP login without a shell. A couple of you suggested I use
something like
/sbin/nologin
and then FTP would work, but no shell would be allowed
Actually, that is the first thing I tried, as nologin is my default shell
when I add users. I have to add /bin/bash to get vsftpd to accept the
conection.
So I checked /etc/shells and /sbin/nologin is there. Apparantly that won't
work.
I have other services/users I might want to use with shells from time to
time so I want the defalut to be "no shell unless I say so", not "get a
shell unless I say no". Preferably controlled at teh password file.
So, I tried Alin Osan's suggstion of modifying the pam file, and that *did*
work.
Thank you very much Alin. Much appreciated. Scott
