Morris, I'm attempting to read between the lines on your message, so I may be way off. I seem to remember that ftp can be setup to "chroot" users to a specific directory of your choosing. (This may require something other than the default ftpd.) For example user Joe could set to access only directory /usr/home/Joe/public_html each time he uses ftp to update his .html files. Joe could not leave this directory. A different method I'v used, is Samba. The nice thing about Samba, is that a Share is much like a "map root" on Novell. The default config file that come with samba has the user's directories exported to them. [RC] At 01:35 PM 1/31/99 -0600, Morris Allen wrote: >Hi: > > I have been using FreeBSD for 3 years now.
