I have found that with unix, any new user created can automatically
login to the server via ssh, ftp etc.  I have tried the
nonexistent:nologin technique to no avail.  I can't find documentation
anywhere on how to configure freeBSD to allow users login to perform
only specific tasks.  ie.. I would like some of my users to have the
ability to log into their POP account exclusively.  Other users will
need access to only ftp, and still others will only need access to ssh
to scp files to their home.  How can I overcome this limitation so I can
have finer control on what users can access on my servers?

Also, not as important, but out of curiosity, how can I 'cap' a users
ftp home directory so they can not traverse folders above and parallel
to their home?

Thank-you for all of your help.

Steve
