If you give a user a shell of /bin/false, this pretty much disables them from telneting. They can connect, but are instantly logged out. But if you put /bin/false into the file /etc/shells, they will still be able to use ftp. This is how I set up an ftp-only user. I then keep /bin/true out of /etc/shells, and I can set the shell to /bin/true to disable ftp as well.

Warning: if you are missing /etc/shells, the system behaves as if it exists and contains over a dozen entries. These are listed on the shells man page. Do not simply create a /etc/shells file with one line in it. You need to put in the default enties as well.

You have to administer services like ftp and telnet using svcadm in Solaris 10, as you might know.
btw, what java diaglog box are you talking about? can you kindly elaborate? Are you using Gnome or CDE?
