creating ftp users!

[Raymond Sundland]

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.
