Hi Robin and Director: The situation is, I have 3 servers, now sun, but planning to change them to FreeBSD, so right now I have a program in FoxPro to administer the database of diskless, with this program I generate the bootptab and download periodically to the servers in case of somebody modify the file in one of the servers and don't notify me (I am not the only administrator). The program in FoxPro and the ftp is run in a windows, so I can't use sftp, nfs, etc.. So I am going to use another user member of wheel and "chmod 664 = bootptab". thanks By the way, since this file doesn't exist I "cp crontab bootptab" so the file belongs to root:wheel, can I chenge the groop to other created by = me? maps On Tue, 28 Oct 2003 17:58:47 -0700, <MPAREDES@telmex.com> wrote: >=20 > Hi: >=20 > I need to transmit some files to the BSD server, one of this files > is the /etc/bootptab, which belongs to root, so I need root access >=20 > How can I enable ftpd to permit the user root? >=20
