Disallow a shell to the user by modifying /etc/passwd. For example, if you want user Bob to be able to SFTP files to the system but not have shell access, modify his entry in /etc/passwd to look like this: # grep bob /etc/passwd bob:x:500:500:Bob Wilkins:/home/bob:/bin/false The /bin/false at the end is what does it. -- Richard S.
