I have been trying to change the root directory for anonymous logins with the ftpd server. I have run into difficulties though because I can't seem to find the config file. I have changed the directorys in the passwd file and the master.passwd file in the etc directory and grep doesn't show anything else that has anything to do with ftp login in the /etc folder. I read the man page and it said something about a ftpchroot file that could be created, however, that seemed to require users have a password, which I would like to avoid. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find much on this with google or the freebsd site. The long short of it is, where do I make that change? I accidently specified the wrong dir when I set up the system and I just want to fix that. As always, docs, urls, pretty much anything will get me on my way! Thanks in advance for the help, I really appreciate it! Terry. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
