There is also a lndir command if it's that what you want. But from the naming I assume the you want to create a chrooted ftp home dir. Since the caveat: you cannot point to symlinked dirs from within a chrooted environment. > > HELP! How do I restrict telnetter's who have accounts on my system from accessing out of their home directories?? I don't want them to reach /home, just stay in /home/username...thats fine and dandy.. You have to give them a chrooted shell. I don't know of a standard way to do this. You would have to write a binary that chroot(2)s and does a chdir() and execs a new shell. Note that you have to give this user all the shared libs and binaries he needs. > > HELP! I need a better webserver than Apache..One that gives me more choices.....Kinda like WebSite by ORA, I could create as many CGI directories...I could make INDEX files be index.* and I could setup users on my system...Can I do that know??? Cannot comment on this. What I have heard Apache is superb and supports/is supported by FreeBSD. > > Please respond asap, NOT to this address but to > Skynet1@Cris.com > > > Skynet1@Cris.com > -- --Chris Christoph P. U.
