should i create "/../../incoming" directory w/ this exactly name? or directories such as: /home/user/bin /home/user/etc /home/user/dev must be created for any purpose? i'm trying to understand the logic involved. first look, i thought it would be a closer configuration regarding squid.....but for a guest is one and anonymous is another...then i'm dummed! :-P for a guest configuration i've done the following (w/ commands to be shortly ok?) : - adduser user - addgroup client - mkdir /home/user/directory (this is the default directory when users access my box). - chmod properly the directories created as well as their groups. -> i've read about chroot users....but i didn't understand about it. man pages didn't help me very much.... "chroot - run command or interactive shell with special root directory" - configure my ftpaccess as i've read at http://www.wu-ftpd.org/HOWTO/guest.HOWTO thanks a lot! Romulo Sousa
