    Hello,

    Running proftpd on two machines. One has all the ftp users set with
    /dev/null as their shell and they can get into their ftp accounts.

    Setup another proftpd server, but ftp users can only login to their ftp
    accounts if they have a real shell account, /bin/bash, for example.

    I would rather the ftp users NOT have valid shells. Any ideas on how to fix
    this?

    Thank you in advance.

    James
