10.4 Server, FTP, SFTP and Remote Login

Here's what I need in a nutshell: allow user to login via FTP (chrooted to their Home dir), but don't allow SFTP access, nor commandline access. Running G5 XServe with Tiger Server.

In Panther I could just use /etc/ftpchroot to do this, but that does not seem to work in Tiger. I also tried using an /etc/ftpd.conf file with the chroot command inside - did not work.

I see in ServerAdmin how to confine the user to their Home Dir via Ftp, so that's not a problem. In WorkGroupMgr, I had set the user up with /sbin/nologin as their shell (this also worked in Panther). So I was hoping that would continue to block sftp and ssh. It does, but it also kills the FTP login.

So, is there any way (short of installing a second ftp server app.) to allow FTP access to the Home Dir, but disable SFTP and SSH access?

thanks!

iBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4)
