Going back to the question about limiting FTP users, I regret that I don't have a SCO server available to test, however many unix OS variation have a file /etc/ftpusers which work in the reverse to what you might expect. It is a list of accounts that are not allowed to FTP into this server. It is slightly counter intuitive (to me at least ) but I wrote a simple script that I run daily to read /etc/ftpusers.allowed and re-write /etc/ftpusers. It was something like this:-
Would that help? You need to be careful that the input file doesn't have blank lines (which will match every record) or short user ids that are contained within longer ones. Perhaps you should make this a two step process:-

FTPUSERS(5) Linux Programmer's Manual FTPUSERS(5)NAME
ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon
DESCRIPTION
The text file ftpusers contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon. This file is
used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked environment. It will typically
contain a list of the users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP
server daemon. Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news. If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers then it is
suggested that you read its documentation to find out how to block access for certain users. Washington University FTP server Daemon
(wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.
Format
The format of ftpusers is very simple. There is one account name (or username) per line. Lines starting with a # are ignored.
FILES
/etc/ftpusers
