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'.
