-   Hello, Do I need to generate mail and ftp users with a bash shell, or I can put them /bin/false as a shell?

Thanks.

-   You can create their accounts with /bin/false, as this is the recommended
method.

-   Thanks. After changing the shell in /etc/passwd, how do I reload the configuration? Thanks.

-   No need to reload, it is called when they attempt to login, access mail, etc.
