Thanks to all the folks who answered my query. Turns out that this is quite
a simple task after all if you stop thinking of how to make things harder.
The solution was to make sure you have a false/nologin (or something along
those lines) in /etc/shells and then create the login with that as it's
shell. This will allow the user to ftp in, but not to have shell access. And
don't forget about password expirations, which was something I was reminded
of as well.

Subject: [HPADM] ftp only account
Has anyone ever been asked to create a unix account that is only allowed to
ftp into the system and not have a login shell at all? This is my first
request ever of this type and am a bit unsure as to how I would set this up
using a unix login. Anyone out there done this before?
TIA
