Hi

I am wanting to limit an account to FTP only, for uploading web pages to a
server.  I have ftpchroot'ed the account to limit access to the directories
I want to - is there any way of disabling all other access
(SSH/telnet/rlogin/SMTP auth etc).  I thought about removing the shell type
from the user account but believe ftpd needs a shell to be specified to
validate the logon.

Many thanks,

Nick Wilson
