The recent discussion on Apache+ftp+php etc prompted me to ask a
related question.  I have a similar setup with "student" accounts each
with a homedir containing a public_html directory.  Each user has a
valid entry in the passwd file and are each chrooted to their home dir
by VSFTP.  However, I don't want them to gain terminal access at all.
Under wu-ftp there was no problem.  You just give them /bin/false or
/bin/nologin as their login  shell in the passwd file.  However if you
do this with vsftp, it prevents them from ftp-ing into their home
also.  How do I grant FTP but not shell access?
