Hello John,

If you are providing only FTP services for those users, perhaps you want
to go for an FTP server that handles virtual users.
I'm using pure-ftpd and it works great.
Google will help you find some nice howto's for same.

Subject: Controlling read access=20

I operate a server on which I am typically the only ssh user, but I =20
do provide a small number of users ftp access.

Each user has their own home directory. Currently all home =20
directories have read permission set for 'other'. This means if I log =20
in as one user, I can read and even download the contents of other =20
users home directories.

I want to block this read access. What is the best way to do this? =20
Turn off the read bit for 'other'? Or is there some better way?

Thanks: John
