Which it won't be -- you'll forget -- and end up blowing away the 
entire site.  Best to not even consider this option at all.  You want 
to affect their FTP connection, so make the changes in the FTP config 
file.  That's what it's there for.

"Random" editing of /etc/passwd is just not a Good Thing (TM)...
