It depends on which FTP server software you're using. For the
built-in ftpd, see ftpd.conf(5), ftpusers(5) and ftpchroot(5) --- but
basically you need something like this:
/etc/ftpusers:
root
toor
daemon
operator
bin
tty
kmem
games
news
man
sshd
bind
uucp
xten
pop
www
nobody
mailnull
smmsp
# UIDs for anonymous FTP
aardvark allow guest
scary.daemon allow guest
That's all you need, but if you want to make the FTP session chroot to
some other directory, or make the FTP daemon display various messages
when the user logs in, use /etc/ftpd.conf and /etc/ftpchroot as well.=20
Cheers,
Matthew
