Linh,

hi, here's what i did, i added /nonexistent in my /etc/shells, then proceed
with the adduser, when it comes to the prompt where it ask you which shell
the user should use, choose no from the list. after the filling up the rest
of the information in adduser and you're done.

as for the OpenSSH, it's now part of the base install, all you have to do is
enable it in /etc/rc.conf like thi:

sshd_enable="YES"

hope this helps.
jonel.
