I have a variety of users I need to accommodate/limit

By editing vipw myself I have been able to create mail only accounts using
/noexistent for home directory and /usr/bin/passwd for the shell...
Is there a better solution?
I heard this solution is a security issue.

How can I do something similar and limit certain accounts to ftp only?

How can I do something similar and limit certain accounts to ftp and mail
only?

How do I keep users from leaving the /home partition?  I don't want them to
be able to cd to / or /etc or /root for example.
I saw something about 'chmod 700 $HOME /home/averageuser'  I really don't
know.

I have done the usual searching of deja and freebsd mail archives and did
not get much in the way of specific answers.

Thank you,

Aaron
