Go ahead and create a shell account for each of your citynet users, but set their shell to /sbin/nologin. This will create a valid passwd entry for the user, but keep them from every really logging into your server. If you *do not* put /sbin/nologin into the file /etc/shells, these users will *not* be able to login to your ftp server. If you would like a version of the nologin program that logs access attempts to nologin accounts, see my web page listed below. I've written a simple compiled nologin program that logs a message in the system log whenever someone trys to access a nologin account; you compile and install this program and use it as the users shell. > PS: If this letter gets to a russian speaking person, write in russian > please :) Russian?
