Uhm, yes. If you don't have a "valid" shell for the user, ftp doesn't let you login. A valid shell is something that is listed in /etc/shells. What I recommended is to install the port for nologin. I believe it's in /usr/ports/shells/nologin, but I'm not 100% certain of that. Once you install nologin, add an entry for it in /etc/shells, and then change the user's shells to nologin. When you add it to /etc/shell and as the user's shell, make sure you use the full path. Which I believe is /usr/local/etc/nologin, but again, I'm not 100% sure. I'm at work not at home to check right now. (of course if I was at home I'd be sleeping right now anyway. heheh) -Chris P.S.
