I just migrated from fc4 to the latest cent.
in fc4 i used /bin/false for users that I only wanted ftp access and no shell.
That doesn't work in cent - I have to give them a shell to ftp.
How do I change it so /bin/false can ftp only in cent like it was in fc?

I know this is a cent question but I didn't get any love from that list.
The correct shell to give those users is "/sbin/nologin", not
"/bin/false". Note also that the shell FTP users are given must be
listed in the "/etc/shells" file or they won't be allowed to log in--
even just for FTP.
On CentOS 5, for example, /etc/shells contains:
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/sbin/nologin
/bin/tcsh
/bin/csh
and the anonymous FTP user has this entry in /etc/passwd:
ftp:x:14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp:/sbin/nologin
so the anonymous FTP user has "/sbin/nologin" for his shell and that
is also listed in /etc/shells.
