This creates a chroot()ed environment at the point specified. For instance, if you want to keep a user stuck in their home directory, you can use the following spec: user:xx ...:/usr/home/user/./: ... WARNING: Make sure that the proper binaires exist in ~/bin/ to do ls and any other functions. It's a chrooted environment, they don't have access to anything above that point. I think :-) I'd suggest reviewing ftpaccess(5), appropriate docs/man pages, and the mail archives for additional assistance.
