Is there a better solution? I heard this solution is a security issue. How can I do something similar and limit certain accounts to ftp only? How can I do something similar and limit certain accounts to ftp and mail only? How do I keep users from leaving the /home partition? I don't want them to be able to cd to / or /etc or /root for example. I saw something about 'chmod 700 $HOME /home/averageuser' I really don't know. I have done the usual searching of deja and freebsd mail archives and did not get much in the way of specific answers.
