Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Setting up WU_FTP and learning why so many questions were posted concerning it in the past. Seems to be working fine except my security is non-existent. I've set chroot in /etc/passwd as follows : fred:*:1001:100:fred:/var/websites/./fredsite:/etc/ftp-only This works fine. When fred ftps in, he is initially in /var/websites/fredsite If I understand this correctly, chroot means that he sees /var/websites as / So, he shouldn't be able to go anywhere else but subdirectories of /var/websites. However, he can "cd .." from /var/websites ; "pwd" shows that he is in "/var/websites" and he can also "cd /etc" directly. What else needs to be set to get chroot to run properly ?
