I have read the ftpd > man pages and it only mentions users added to this file. /etc/ftpusers is somewhat misnamed. It is actually for *denying* access, so it's more like ftp non-users :) If you want to deny ftp access to users by group, you put @groupname in the /etc/ftpusers file. This *is* documented in the ftpd man page. - Mike ________________________________________________________________________ Mike Brown / Hyperreal | Hyperreal http://music.hyperreal.org/ PO Box 61334 | XML & XSL http://skew.org/xml/ Denver CO 80206-8334 USA | personal http://www.hyperreal.org/~mike/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
