[scponly] A readme?

[Dan Gapinski]

Thanks for your replies. I have been tinkering with Juan Castillo's Jail
program to create the chrooted environment more easily. From what it looks
like, everything depends on the /etc/passed file showing the user's shell to
be /etc/shells/scponly, which shouldn't interfere with the Jail program at
all. Unless there are better methods for chroot'ing out there?

Ok that's not too difficult. One more question though: I imagine that admins
who implement this cannot allow users to change their own passwords?

Thanks again,
Dan Gapinski
