For users who just have a standard web package (so they have no shell access) I give them a shell called 'scponly-c', from the package scponly which can be found at http://www.sublimation.org/scponly/ So they can only use SFTP and/or scp to upload files, no shell access. They are also chroot'ed to their home directory for a bit of added security. I haven't had any reported problems. You need to provide the programs they'll need though, like ls, pwd etc. etc. in their home directory as they are running in a chroot (if you take that option - It is possible without the chroot).
