    Hello,

     

    Proftpd is launched with user nobody. I was wondering why this user had to
    have a default shell set to /bin/sh. Is there any reason for that? Can I
    modify it to /bin/false? Is it a security problem to have a service like
    Proftpd (running standalone) running with the default shell to /bin/sh?

     

     

    Chears,

     

     

    Mico.
