   1. Telnet/SSH simple user permissions (Dave Anders)

I just had the same problem.  I can SSH in as admin but a user can not SSH
in unless you turn on telnet (which I know is redflagged on many posts) but
I did it anyway so he could log in.  Then when I logged in with his username
I was horrified to see that his username had all the same privileges as
admin!  So I quickly turned the telnet off for that site to disable it.  It
seems that you should be able to give a user SSH privileges to their own
site (particularly if they are the site administrator) without giving them
access to the whole server.
