I need to allow access to my ftp to a lot of people but these people don't need access to telnet or ssh or any other service on my box. I would like to limit the user that way, as well as another way. I would also like to limit the user in what they can see. Is it possible to not allow the user to cd out of its home directory? I don't want them seeing anything outside of that dir if possible. Any ideas on how to get started? Thanks in Advance --- ------------------------------------------------------- | Jason P.
