X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2004 08:14:25 -0000 I'm setting up our main customer web server: as a check-box feature, every customer gets 10Mb of free web space on our server. I'm very keen that I keep customer and user accounts on the server firmly separate, so that means that vanilla ftpd needs replacing. What are people's favourites out of the 20 or so in ports? From my own survey PureFTPd seems favourite, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Basically my desiderata are: No using /etc/passwd for client stuff; Enforced chrooting Performance not actually that important, since there's ony 100 or so accounts. I've curerently got user auth data handled by sasl, if that's important. 5.2.1 Release kernel. On a related note, a web interface to allow customers to update their pages would be nice. CPanel is gross overkill, and too expensive for my Boss's wallet. Does a simpler tool exist, before I start writing my own? Thanks in advance for any advice. --- Andy Holyer, Technical stuff Hedgehog Broadband, 11 Marlborough Place Brighton BN1 1UB 08451 260895 x 241
