I need to make an account that has verry little to no write priviledges, or any priviledges for that matter, this user will only be logging in through ssh and ftp.

I was thinking for the ssh, b/c i only need tunnling, i could set the default shell to something that dowsnt do anything but stays open so that the user couldnt run anything but they can still do stuff via ftp.

so i guess what im asking is: In Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10, is there a way to make an extremly under priviledged user, no sudo no write, barely any read.
