I answered my own question!, I made a typo, I went and said /bin/nologin in the /etc/passwd file, all works fine now, thanks for pointing out the problem

Hi<br />
When adding a user to my system using the default adduser xxx command, the suer can (by default) log in via ssh as long as I set a password.<br />
<br />
What I want is for some users to NOT be able to log in via SSH, yet, they must still be able to use vsftp.<br />
<br />
If I change the /etc/passwd entry for the specific user to /bin/nologin, then the user cannot login via SSH , but the user cannot use ftp either...<br />
<br />
Is there a way?<br />
