what is the "right" way to set up an account that can be accessed by FTP
only? I don't want shell logins, so I have to use a non-valid shell. But
the shell still has to be in /etc/shells for ftpd to let the user in at
all. Should I really add /sbin/nologin or /dev/null to /etc/shells?

I have the user also in /etc/ftpchroot for extended security, but that's
not really related to the login.
