replySecurity-wise you set it not to run commands (and maybe chroot) and you're done, right? And difficulty-wise isn't granting SSH access very similar to FTP access?
I don't understand the issue.
SSH requires a system account. FTP access can be granted and revoked via a database, or even a text file.
replyThat depends on your server.
replyBut in the most common case a "system account" is a line in two text files, isn't it?
