This is almost correct. Create a new login shell for example /bin/false in /bin/false put the commands: #!/bin/bash echo "no shell access available." logout Now add /bin/false to the list of possible shells in /etc/shells and when you create the new account give it a shell of /bin/false. NOw they can access ftp only but not log into any shell. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Lawlor" <dlawlor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 12:32 AM Subject: Re: ftp and shell access > Disregard my last message.
