I don't know is the easy answer but i just thought I'd let you know that
the Smoothwall mailing lists have restarted so it might be worth giving

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Linux, and have an easy question for you:
Where and how does one set the [initial] directory that an FTP user starts
with upon logging in?
I have got the user logging in fine, but do not know how to set their
'starting' directory.
Please advise.

Hi,
I have dealt extensively with numerous operating systems (mainly NT and
Netware), and for some reason am unable to 'get the hang' of Linux security.
There just seems to me to be something missing (I know there isnt) in
regards to setting up file/directory security.
My problem isn't with the actual commands, it's more with the allocation of
rights to a file/directory for groups and users. I am used to systems
whereby a file/directory can be accessed by one or more users and one or
more groups - easy. I don't see how this can be done in Linux where only one
user/group can own and access the same.
I dont expect anybody to take the time to explain it to a newbie, but if
somebody could point me to a good HOWTO site where security and examples are
laid out I would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Greg

the home directory of the user in /etc/passwd will be the starting directory
for the user when he/she logs in via ftp. if you want their home directory
to be chroot'd from /home/dallase say to just / then you have to edit
the ftpaccess file and add restricted-uid * like so
echo "restricted-uid *" >> /etc/ftpaccess
if you do not do this, then if i log into /home/dallase, i can transverse up
to /home and on up to / and throughout the filesystem from there. after
restricted-uid * is in place when i try to change directory to a higher
directory i get
550 Permission denied on server. You are restricted to your account.
thats what we want to see.

maybe i should have kept that short and sweet. /etc/passwd file contains
the home directory.
here is a line from /etc/passwd
dallase:x:500:500:my description here:/home/dallase:/bin/bash
if i log into ftp then i will log directly into /home/dallase as per my
settings in passwd.
if i change my passwd entry to
dallase:x:500:500:my description here:/home/ftpusers/dallase:/bin/bash
then i will now log directly into /home/ftpusers/dallase
keep in mind that i can transverse upwards to see the whole filesystem still
so you might want to read my last post and enable restricted-uid * in
/etc/ftpaccess to it chroots the enviroment.
have fun

Same thing in unix. Put all the users who should have access to it in one
group, and make the directory owned by that group and accessible to
them.
If you want to use ACLs instead, you'll have to go play with them.

Is your question how you can compose several groups into a supergroup?
"netgroups" is the answer, I believe, but I've never used them.

Use modprobe es1371 instead. This will load the other sound modules that
the es1371 modules depends on.

bingo, you are absolutely correct. I have no idea why I associated the
two. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with RH. I installed
more ram and must have moved something while doing so. I blame it on
exhaustion, after two days without sleep.

Actually, Mindspring tells me I have a right not to post my email

I assume by 7.1 you mean RedHat 7.1?
You can try out different settings by running Xconfigurator as the
root user; no need to re-install every time. If you told it to boot
up into X11 (the GUI), then you can boot into the command prompt (to
run Xconfigurator) by typing
linux 3
at the LILO: prompt (it prompts you to press a key at the RedHat
graphical boot-up screen to enter text mode for the LILO: prompt).
You may have specified a resolution and/or synch rate that your
monitor cannot handle -- which is strange because RedHat 7.1 uses the
plug-and-play monitor query to get sync settings (just like Windows).

You make a good point. Theoretically, there is nothing to prevent you from
having as many floppy drive controllers as you wish.
>From a practical point of view, however, there is no way to set the floppy
drive controller on the specific piece of hardware in question (an Adaptec
1542 SCSI controller) to a "non-standard" set of IRQs and I/O addresses. I
don't have one in front of me, but I used to use Adaptec 1542 controllers in
a PC hardware course that I used to teach, and they only had one setting for
the floppy controller - on and off. Since both the SCSI card's floppy
controller and the integrated floppy drive controller on the motherboard use
I/O base address 3F0 and IRQ 6, you can only use one at a time. Otherwise,
the two devices lock up with either and I/O address or an IRQ conflict.
Has anybody seen a floppy drive controller that let you use alternate IRQ
and I/O settings? I haven't seen any myself, but that doesn't mean they
don't exist.

Make sure /etc/hosts has the new name in it.

Hrm. It could be 2 things:
o Sun now develops Linux JDK (instead of blackdown) and changed how
the windows look (ie, changing to a window with decoration
defined). I honestly can't remember how to use fvwm2; it's been
years -- but you should be able to tell it which kinds of windows
to decorate.
o javax.swing.LookAndFeel is set differently
I don't recall any changes to that effect from 1.2 -> 1.3; I program
in Java quite often.

Can it not mount the volume that /var/log is on? That is often a
'doh' situation that may or may not pertain to your problem.

Subject: mingetty respawning too rapidly
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 15:44:02 -0500
hiya,
trying to setup a minimal linux system on a laptop...
Have installed a root filesystem as described in the boot/rescue disk howto.
libraries and executables based on RH 6.2 tools...
It'll boot and mount root, and gets to runlevel 2, and the mingetty's are suspended
cause they're respawning too rapidly.. why?
my setup:
(Kernel 2.4.5)
cat inittab
id:2:initdefault:
si::sysinit:/etc/rc
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc0
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc2
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc6
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
cat rc
#!/bin/sh
/bin/mount -av
/bin/loadkeys /lib/us.kmap
ls -l /dev/tty[12]
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 1 Jun 6 08:14 ../dev/tty1
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 2 Jun 6 08:05 ../dev/tty2
ls -l /sbin/mingetty
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8112 Feb 3 2000 /sbin/mingetty

The error message is in German, saying something like: MO drive busy. Does this help?
