Creating account with SCP ONLY

Since we're talking about limiting ssh access right now...  I need to 
create user accounts that cannot use the shell, but can still move files 
around via scp/sftp.  We have FTP disabled, and as we start to bring users 
online I do not want them having shell capabilities for security reasons.

Any ideas?  I think the false shell thing breaks scp since it requires some 
limited level of shellish-type access for whatever it does.

Thanks,
Ralph
