Thanks Doug, You got me thinking as I sat at the screen thinking about changing all the users, a daunting task to be sure. I copied the nologin shell to the bin file and then renamed it to ftponly. Now I have an actual executable shell called ftponly that restricts telnet access and allows ftp access with no annoying error messages when I add users. :)))) Didn't have to chpass a single user!! Thanks everybody!!
