Yes, I am planning to give a shell which does not allow a login (not
/dev/null since the popper will require a valid shell from /etc/shells)
but ftp and suchlike would still be accessible. 

In the end I'm not too bothered about that, it's just that I feel very
uneasy about having so many user accounts (200+) to manage.
