I want to chroot the 'only' ftp user account that is permitted. So, I've put every account in ftpusers EXCEPT the one I want permitted. So far that works, though the name suggests a reverse logic, ie ftpusers implies users who MAY ftp in to me... But it wouldn't be the first time my logic was reversed... Anyway, I want to chroot the ftp user to a special file system so I used the ftpchroot file as follows: ===================== cat /etc/ftpchroot ===================== # by db # 2003-06-25 softsys /mnt/newdisk/ ./ghosted ==================== This seems consistend with the syntax mentioned in the man page, yet when I attempt to log in as softsys, I get the message =================== Name (XXXX:xxxx): softsys 331 Password required for softsys. Password: 550 Can't change root. Login failed. =================== any advice? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
