X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (Win95; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Terry Babbey Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FTP Daemon Question References: <39108C3A.BD4491CF@lambton.on.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG you mean disallow non-root users to access '/', or to actually run ftpd as a different username other than root, (eg trying to run an ftp server on a shell account?) ? If A - add usernames, or (groups pre-pended by an @ sign), one per line to the file /etc/ftpchroot an example: /etc/ftpchroot: @normalusers @dialupusers @webhosting someuser someuser2 etc If B- it is possible to run ftpd as a different user than root, but you're not going to be able to run it on any port(s) below 1024. I may be wrong with this answer but as I understand it, you'd be able to say run ftpd on port 10012 as user 'fubar'.
