Heh.  It's pretty safe to offer non-login users non-anonymous ftp
access.  (It might alternatively be possible to set up a non-login user
so he can scp files in and out, though I don't know how, off the top of
my head.)

As far as I'm concerned, a non-login user is welcome to do POP3 and ftp
sessions all day long, especially if his ftp sessions are chrooted to ~.
