If you want him to have ftp access and mail etc I think all you have to do
is
make a replacement in his passwd file where the shell command usually is
with a program that does nothing.
Eg.
If the passwd file has
username:groupname:******:/usr/bin/bash
Replace bash with for example a C program which may be like
main()
{
printf("You dont have telnet privilages\n");
exit(0);
}
I know someone who is doing something just like this.
Regards
Shahed.
