    Rob,

    You can try setting the user's shell to /usr/libexec/sftp-server (or
    wherever the sftp-server binary exists under FreeBSD).

    This will give the user ability to SFTP into the box, but without a
    normal shell. /usr/lib/exec/sftp-server should be added to /etc/shells,
    too.
