Hi, In the password (/etc/passwd) file, as shell enter /bin/false. This will give the user no shell and hence no shell, rsh, telnet or ssh access to the machine. FTP requires no shell and therefore the user will have ftp access to the machine [provided you configure your ftp daemon correctly]
Forget tcp wrapper. The line will look like: jdoe:x:666:100:John Doe:/home/jdoe:/bin/false Good luck, Pieter-Bas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Pope" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, 09 November, 2001 06:23 Subject: Tcp-wrapper question ! > Dear all, > I'm a little bit embaressed to ask this trivial > question but I scanned vainly the Internet to find an > answer and I have to solve it quickly. > I'm the administator of Linux RedHat system (only one > computer) and I have to allow a user (I have recently > created his account on the this Linux System) access > only by FTP (deny Telnet access).
