I don't say what you do is wrong; I don't even call it stupid; and I still do it differently: $ cat /etc/ftpchroot | grep uwe uwe chpass uwe gives: Home directory: /var/www/users/uwe Shell: /usr/bin/passwd and results in: $ ftp [...] 331 Password required for uwe. Password: 230 User uwe logged in. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> pwd 257 "/" is current directory. When the user is commented out in /etc/ftpchroot, it looks like this: $ cat /etc/ftpchroot | grep uwe #uwe $ ftp [...] 331 Password required for uwe. Password: 230 User uwe logged in. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> pwd 257 "/var/www/users/uwe" is current directory. [The huge majority of my users are ftp-only, some have a local logon. I wrote a script that moves the users from here to there and there to here; one item is adding/comment/uncomment their userid in /etc/ftpchroot.] $ head /etc/ftpchroot # $OpenBSD: ftpchroot,v 1.3 1996/07/18 12:12:47 deraadt Exp $ # # list of users (one per line) given ftp access to a chrooted area. # read by ftpd(8). I have no clue if this accepts a group as well ? Just try to add a demo user and make it work for him. Uwe
