Ya bu I want to create an authenticated user who can access a perticular folder on existing folder with files in HTDOCS. Besides FTPCONFIG creates all those pub and dev folder.
Any help???
Apologies - that was not obvious to me from your original post.
However, I would still look at what ftpconfig does, as I believe it
could be modified to do what you want it to.
In fact, the "-d" option may be useful to you to set up the directory
ready for chroot (although I've not looked at it in detail).
/usr/sbin/ftpconfig is a ksh script, so it should be easy to copy and
modify to your needs (or simply rip out the bits you want and do them
manually).
Personally, I would also lean away from putting a shell script in place
as the user's shell, in case there are any possible remote environment
hacks which can allow access to the system. This seems to me to be made
all the more dangerous by not explicitly specifying which shell
interpreter to use with a #! line. A simple binary like /bin/true is IMO
safer, although a little less informative if trying a non-ftp login. You
could of course compile your own "hello world"-style binary which did
the same.

Brian
