Help,
I've gone through all of the info that I have, and I can't resolve the
following:
I'm using wu.ftpd (ported for and included with FreeBSD) for anonymous
ftp server. It documents the method of using /./ to seperate two
halves of a user's home directory. The first half being the chroot
location. Regardless of where this string lies in ftp's homedir field
in /etc/passwd, the ftp server sets the root to be the same as the
complete home directory. This works corrrectly for other users
(real), but not an anonymous one. What gives?
The (fake root)/bin/ls executable that FreeBSD ships with for use on
an anonymous ftp server insists that (fake root)/etc/pwd.db exists
instead of /etc/passwd, or it will not display file owner names. Is
there any way of createing a fake copy of pwd.db containing a minimal
set of records including stdin/out tools for script use?
Thanks in advance,
John T. Olp
