Is there a way to choose which users show up in the Login window? I
am trying to set up a account just for secure FTP access and the only
way I can get it to work is by creating the account through "Accounts"
or using NetInfo to duplicate an already existing account (One that
shows up in the login window). Only problem is I don't want the FTP
account to show up, like root doesn't.

Also, in the process I managed to screw it up so that NOBODY shows up
in the login window. It just goes straight to 'Other' you can click
back and see the list of users, but there are none--only 'other'


Thanks!

Thanks Heath, in the true spirit of the internet I found that article
5 minutes after I posted.


When I created the new account the first problem magically fixed
itself. In further tinkering I think if you delete the 'name' field
(Not 'Real Name' but 'name') it hoses the login window all to crap.

I have another, much smaller issue now. The point of all this was to
create a user to be used just for FTP. Is there anyway I can deny
this FTP only user from logging in via SSH? The only thing I've tried
so far (Changing their "shell" in NetInfo) DID work to deny them SSH
access, it also denied them FTP access.

Thanks,

Ryan

Look at the AllowUsers key in /etc/sshd_config. man sshd_config will
tell you more.
