My /etc/ftpchroot file just consists of a list of usernames, one per line. This effectively restricts the ftp user to his/her home directory on the server (the home directory, of course, is owned by the user in question). On your system does the user own the directory you are trying to ftpchroot him in? Perhaps that is a requirement... Lisa Casey -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
