Hello I am kind of new to linux I have a machine which has ftp daemon running(wu-ftpd) with xinetd the default home dir for ftp is /home/username but useres are allowed to go back and changed dir's they are also allowed to go back to any dir like /etc , /usr ,/var etc. I want to remove this and restrict the users to only their home dir the file permissions on all of my / dir are 755, I was wondering do I need to change any of the file permissions also is it safe to have 755 dir permisisons on /etc and other imp dir's. I tried installing proftpd but i had problems in configuring it. thanks in advance for all the help __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
