There are a number of ways... see /etc/login.access give the users a shell that is /sbin/nologin and with the integrated sshd, see the config option AllowGroups. In /etc/inetd.conf, all you really want is pop3, and perhaps indent for sendmail if you want that... Generally just use ssh, dont bother with telnet/rsh/ftp ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
