Anyone know where I can get a clean version of spwd.db, or how I can easily make a new (blank) one? (For FreeBSD 3.1.) I'm setting up and ftpd that is set to chroot to its own dir when it runs. (-r /usr/home/ftp) Because of the chroot, it needs to find a spwd.db in the chrooted etc dir. Naturally, I dont want to put my /etc/spwd.db in there. However doing a pwd_mkdb requires that I already have database files in there. Being database files too, if I do a pwd_mkdb over copies of ones from /etc, the data isnt overwritten. (Dont want someone getting in anonymously and getting ahold of them, and doing a strings over spwd. :) Am I missing something obvious?? -- Gavan McCormack - tetragon@cyber.com.au - tetragon@bitey.net Cybersource P/L.
