So I edited the password databse and set their shell to /nonexistent and the /sbin/nologin After that they are refused FTP access...... Is there anyway I can stop users from having shell access jyst because they have an FTP account? Thank in advance...... --------------------------------------------------------------------- It is automatic log-in and notification.
