How to offer users Telnet/SSH/FTP and still keep server secure?

The easy answer is you cannot, but since virtual hosting users still want it what can be done to improve security, other than installing the usual patches?

Some hosts provide a control panel rather than telnet/SSH that shows the error log when a script is run over the web, so the user can correct the script. Do these web interfaces equal the capability of Telnet/SSH for user needs? Which of the web interfaces come close?
