According to the man pages, there should be three ways to chroot all ftp users to their home directories. 1) A line at the end of ftpusers: * allow chroot The documentation indicates that this should match all users not matched (and therefore denied access) in a previous line, allow them access to the server, and assign them to the chroot class, which defaults to chrooting them to their home directory. In practice, the * is not interpreted, so it end up not matching any users. If I supply a specific user name, the user is blocked from ftp access, indicating the directive and class parts of the line are not being followed. 2) A single line in ftpchroot: * The documentation indicates that this should match all users and chroot them to their home directories (unless an alternative chroot cestination is specified in ftpd.conf). In practice, the * is not interpreted, so it end up not matching any users. If I supply a specific user name, the user is chrooted correctly. 3) A single line in ftpd.conf: chroot all %d The documentation seems to indicate that this should match all users and chroot them to their home directories. I have not been able to get any results from the chroot command in ftpd.conf >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
