as far as i can tell, in 10.3.1 server, for a user to be able to login via ftp the user must have a real shell assigned, eg if their default shell is set to None, the user cannot ftp.

this seems crazy to me!?!

am i missing something?

surely its safer to have shell login disabled for most users and only on for those (very few in my case) who need it.

any ideas?

thanks.

[localhost:~]% cat /etc/shells
# List of acceptable shells for chpass(1).
# Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using
# one of these shells.

/bin/bash
/bin/csh
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh
