Hello,
I want to allow ftp access to other users, without giving them shell
access. how do I configure the adduser command to accomplish this, or is
this there some other way?
I have tried some things from google / man pages, but I'm not getting
it. user ftp home directory will be adjusted in the ftpchroot file.

You can set the user's shell to /sbin/nologin. Also make sure this is
listed in /etc/shells if you're using FreeBSD's ftpd or lukemftpd.

Also see `man ftpchroot` for info on securing this.
Thanks,
I had caught that one but is there anything else I should do for the sake of
security?
