This might be trivial questions, but how do I disable someone's telnet
ablity but still let me access via ftp.  I know it is something in
/etc/passwd .  expample: right now the user would be something like

username:password:500:10:person's name:/home/username:/bin/bash

I know I need to change /bin/bash to something, but what??  I tried
/bin/false and that will not allow telnet or ftp.  I still want them to ftp
in, but not to telnet.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance,
    Jerry
