4538.0. "chrooted (non-anonymous) ftp?" by GRIFUN::BENVI () Wed Mar 12 1997 08:25
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.
All this should be implemented with AlphaServers running Digital Unix
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 ftp 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 of Digital Unix 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?
Are there other ftp implementation (running on Digital Unix) that can help?
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
