Set /sbin/nologin as the shell! You need to put it into /etc/shells for this to work... Even more restrictive, you can set up semi-anonymous ftp... check man ftpd for this, but basically, by creating incoming and pub directories for an ftp-only user and putting the username into /etc/ftpchroot, you can restrict it further so that users can upload files into incoming and download files from pub, but they must log in... So it's like anonymous ftp, but with a login. Of course, if you use any ported ftp daemons, like the popular (and security-buggy) wu-ftpd, refer to the appropriate manpages.
