First, you need to make the NT share accessible on the UNIX machine. This can be done using smbfs, but I haven't used it before. Check the FAQ or man pages for details. Next, create the users on your FreeBSD box and give them /bin/true as a shell and specify the appropriate directory in the smbfs filesystem as their homedir. You'll have to add /bin/true to the /etc/shells file in order for them to have FTP access. (/bin/true as a shell will prevent them from being able to log into the system. However, the FTP server wil let them in via FTP since their shell is listed in /etc/shells.) Next, place the usernames of these users in the /etc/ftpchroot file. This will "lock" them into their own home directories, so they can only access their files. As like anything in the UNIX world, YMMV. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
