No... look at the bottom of the message you have to add /sbin/nologin to the file /etc/shells If you read that file it tells you that those shells allow FTP. What I did was I copied /sbin/nologin to /sbin/noshell. Then I added /sbin/noshell to /etc/shells. That way there if I want to disable the account completely, then I just make their shell /sbin/nologin, but if I want to allow FTP but no shell, I make their shell /sbin/noshell. Cool???
