[ilugd] Disallowing users to Change Directory above their home - VSFTP

2007-03-07 Thread Anand Kapoor 
Ok,

this one might come upon as a stupid question, I am staring at this
vsftpd.conf and i want to prohibit users from cd above their home
directory. (They should be able to CD into their homes, but no where
else). I am sure there was a config setting for this but for the life
of me i can't seem to remember. Google isn't helping much because i am
probably not framing my query properly.) ..

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Anand

look at the chroot users options in vsftpd.conf - you can either make 
this the rule or the exception ( so all users are chroot'ed by default )
