Many thanks to all who responded with help. I now have it well sorted,
with the check_shells=NO, and disallowing ssh to daemon accounts.

The recent discussion on Apache+ftp+php etc prompted me to ask a
related question. I have a similar setup with "student" accounts
each with a homedir containing a public_html directory. Each user
has a valid entry in the passwd file and are each chrooted to their
home dir by VSFTP. However, I don't want them to gain terminal
access at all. Under wu-ftp there was no problem. You just give
them /bin/false or /bin/nologin as their login shell in the passwd
file. However if you do this with vsftp, it prevents them from
ftp-ing into their home also. How do I grant FTP but not shell
access?
