3) I'd like to provide some limited SFTP (SSH FTP) mechanisms for select individuals, for these I would really like to do away with the shell, but I haven't found away, how can I provide an shell-less SFTP or severely restricted SFTP service for these people?
To provide the type of access you're talking about above, I use scponly http://www.sublimation.org/scponly/ version 4.1 available on the site, 4.0.2 is in unstable.Chrootable, easily configured for multiple users, quite handy. The man pages and README are required if you want it setup right, though.
