Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Well, newbie I am and I made a lot of mistakes with my "anonymous telnet" project. The idea was to have a "jailed" user bla, who should have an world readable public_html. Now, the default permission for /home, as described at http://www.eq.net and in chrsh.c, is 750. I changed this to 755 in chrsh.c and this works nicely. (Surprise, surprise, compiling worked without the complete sources..) Now I'd like to know two things: How "unsecure" has the system become by this change ? Or doesn't this matter at all, as long as /home isnt world writable ? Is there any way to make the FBSD ftpd accept passwordless accounts ? My system is 3.1, the standard CD version...
