HI all, I'm in touch with a customer who's delivering electronic mail, edi and remote printing services and he's designing an extension to the above, supplying internet and ftp services to his ultimate customers. Customer accessing the ftp services can leave files in their directoryes in a secure way. For this reason customer asked me the pssibility for a generic fto user to have the same bahaviour as anonymous user (i.e. chroot to home). In this way no other ftp-users can access my directory and see my files. I had a look at the documentation and to this conference (notes 1619.*) and it seems that "cloning" anonymous use is not possible ulness hacking ftpd code. Is it still true? If yes, how can I prevent other ftp-users to see and access files of a given ftp-user? Any drawback to settting world access to no access? What about ACL? The above questions are quite urgent since customer is selecting the sw platform on which to implement the new services. It seems the other Unix (HP-UX?) allow the chroot mechanism for non-anonymous ftp users.... We need to answer in some way. HELP! Thanks in advance Angelo

You might want to take something like wu-ftpd and modify it appropriately. PJDM | |||||
| 9130.2 | wu-ftpd already has this | SMURF::DUSTIN | Thu Mar 13 1997 09:35 | 6 | |
Or you might want to take wu-ftpd itself and not modify it, since
it supports the sub-user command (multiple anonymous users, each with
their own area).
