I have two questions that no one seems to be able to answer for me - nor can I find any straight forward answers over the internet. This is my last hope . . . #1: sshd is enabled, and works - however, to my understanding you cannot have secure ftp connections chrooted directly to the users home directory like you can on normal FTP by putting the username in /etc/ftpchroot. Can this be done? Is there another freeware program for BSD that supports SSH/FTP that can do this? #2: What are you using for secure shells? I am currently using the program chrsh which uses the chroot(8). It works well, but this comes to a problem. For every program that people want to use, it has to be copied into their bin directory. They cannot leave their chroot (their home directory) but if they require so many programs, it's nearly impossible to get many of them to work (for example, perl compiler which requires multiple dependents). Lastly, what are most ISP's doing as far as secure shells and what not? Is this the popular way of doing it, or is there a better way out there? thanks in advance, Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
