Thanks to all those on this list that gave me some help. I re-read the ftpd man page more closesly and ended up adding /sbin/nologin to the /etc/shells file, adding the user in question to /etc/ftpchroot and making the user's homedirectory the directory where I wanted things dropped off. This got the job done, thanks again. Michael On Thu, 6 Jul 2000, Michael wrote: > > Hi, > > I have a computer that several people are sharing remotely.
