Can you try ftp and email (i assume you actually mean imap or pop access?) just to be sure that it's not a ssh problem you're experiencing? Using /bin/false in this manner has been working for me for quite a long time for pop and imap users around here (except when they need to use vacation and then there's smrsh). ~Jason -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
