Re: FTP access




I assume you're talking about non anonymous users (anonymous users get
that by default): put for those users a $HOME path like
/home/username/./ in /etc/passwd. 

This will make wu-ftpd chroot to the username directory when he/she logs
in via ftp. Note that you will need a basic directory structure in there
so that this will work - after ftpd chroots it cannot access /etc/passwd
for example, so you must have /home/username/etc/passwd. the same is
true for some libs and bins.

WARNING - I never actually tried this. If this locks up your system,
freezes hell over or make Windows 2000 comes out earlier then planned I
am not responsible.

Have fun,
Gilad.
