That someone was me. And I was asking about chroot'ing an ftp user to
their home dir. I assume this is what you mean as making a ftp user
access permissions root would be a "bad thing" no?
Two choices for Linux,
1. make the home dir in /etc/passwd look like
/home/peter/./
and edit the /etc/ftpaccess file and add the users group to the list
of groups.
2. Install proftpd and just edit the configure file
DefaultRoot ~
For Solaris, choice one is not available on today's menu...
So I've gone with choice 2 so that my Linux and Solaris boxen are
setup the same.
Cheers
Pete.
