    Since we're talking about limiting ssh access right now... I need to
    create user accounts that cannot use the shell, but can still move files
    around via scp/sftp. We have FTP disabled, and as we start to bring users
    online I do not want them having shell capabilities for security reasons.

    Any ideas? I think the false shell thing breaks scp since it requires some
    limited level of shellish-type access for whatever it does.

    Thanks,
    Ralph
