I am currently running FreeBSD 2.0.5 and I have a few admin 
problems.  I was wondering if there is a utility that deletes users.  I 
was told the only way is to edit the password file and delete the user.  
Is this the only and/or correct way?

Also, I need to give users accounts to use e-mail, but I don't want them 
to be able to telnet out or ftp out.  I was told by someone to give the 
users a fake or non-existent shell.  This would stop people from being 
able to telnet in, but allow them to use a POP server to check there 
mail.  Is there a way to allow users to login and use PINE, for example, 
and not allow them to telnet out, ftp out, or any other commands besides those 
associated with sending and receiving mail?

Is there any way of making the only directory a user can see is his or 
her home directory?

Can I put a size limit on the amount bytes a user can store on our system?
