I want to use the chroot'ed feature of ftpd to give a user control by ftp of a portion of a web tree, while restricting them from seeing/changing anything else on the server by ftp. I can do this by creating a new user with the home directory set to their root point in the web tree. I have disabled telnet access to the account. My question is, is this an acceptable procedure? Are there any consequences to creating users with home directory not under /home? I'm assuming I can omit all the dot files. -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
