Re: [newbie] proftpd question
Mithrilhall, That somehow seems contradictory. If users are to be sent to their home directory, then they need to long in as themselves, no? I would think that you'd want anonymous logins to be sent to /pub or whatever it is nowadays. Maybe I'm wrong.

RE: [newbie] proftpd question
Maybe I sent the wrong message. When the user anonymous logs in he is sent to the proper directory but they are able to browse other users home directories and are capable of downloading from them.

Re: [newbie] proftpd question
I Know ncftpd allows for vitual users using the ncftpd_passwd command but i'm not sure if proftp allows this as well.

Looking at the faqs at proftpd.org, I see: The hosting machine has a poorly configured hostname setup to the point where the resolver library cannot determine the IP from the name. Solutions include, fixing the DNS for the domain, fixing the hostname, fixing the /etc/hosts file. Which one works for you will largely depend on your OS and exactly what is wrong.
