Don't use ProFTPd; it's GPLed. The BSD ftpd is capable of chrooting users if you put their names in /etc/ftpchroot; see the man page. --Brett At 07:29 PM 4/24/99 -0300, Michael Richards wrote: >On Sun, 25 Apr 1999, erik wrote: > >> is there a way to deny a registered user access to anything but his own >> homedirectory? >Yes, we do it with ProFTPD.

Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his! In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson than this: they teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
