Title: Locking a user down to a single folder

this is called chroot jail. most of the FTP daemons support it. my suggestion si to go with proftpd.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Lucas To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Saturday, August 10, 2002 1:35 AM Subject: Locking a user down to a single folder What sort of things have the rest of you done for restricting a user to a single folder (home folder) and not allowing them access to anything like /etc, /dev, etc.? This has specific application to FTP users?  We have a single test box isolated from the rest of the world that we are testing incoming FTP for internal users only.  They need to be able to read and write but not do anything like "cd /" or "get /etc/passwd" Thanks, Brian "the newbie strikes again..."
