I created user accounts for each virtual domain So a username would be virtualdomain_com the home directory would be /home/virtualdomain_com the pointer in the httpd.conf would be /home/virtualdomain_com/public_html this way only the specific user and root have write permission to the webpage directory the user can have telnet and ftp access or however you want to do it... -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Ryan Thompson Sent: Friday, November 19, 1999 7:23 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: public_html admin perms? Hi all; I'm sure this question may have been posted before in one form or another, but I was at a loss to find anything like it in the archives. Just wondering how others handle public_html administration permissions for a remote admin. Basically, I have the following situation: Some hosting clients publish their own files to their public_html directories via ftp. A www user (in a different group, and not wheel), also needs full access to public_html directories of users, to handle tech support concerns, or co-authoring with some clients. The www user has login privileges on ftp (chroot'ed). Also has some basic shell access; though my www helper isn't that comfortable with a unix prompt :-) The www user needs to log in from another (remote) network, as well. The emphasis here is on not giving more access to anyone than is needed. Clients are chroot'ed into their respective home directories, with write access ONLY to their public_html directories (and ftp/pub, in some cases). www is chroot'ed to /home on our webserver, which houses all web clients, as well as our company site pages. su is not an option. Remote root logins also not an option :-) Blanket umask creation settings also not applicable, here. :-) /home is its own filesystem, if that helps. (Though, mount options don't look very promising :-) Any suggestions would be great.
