I didn't see this in the archives, so I thought I would pitch this out
there.
Is it possible to do authentication by some other means other than
/etc/passwd or system login? I know this sounds weird, but I want to
allow various logins in ssh, but not give them regular system access.
SSH2 makes it possible to run FTP over SSH for secure FTP connections,
but now that that security hole has been eliminated (clear text
passwords) in my system I want to make it even more secure. ProFTPD
will allow logins using other authentication sources, what about SSH?
This way I could chroot a user to a particular directory in FTP, but
they wouldn't have a normal system login so they couldn't ssh in like a
normal system user.
I hope this has made sense. Thanks for any input anyone may have and
please cc your response directly to me.
Thanks!
Kelly
