Hi Andrew, Thanks for the input. I actually tried that approach and it did block telnet access. Unfortunately, it also blocked the FTP access. I want this to be strictly a password ftp site for over 100 users at last count. Each user is restricted to their own directory and can not see all the other users. Only 2 master users can see the entire tree and they also do not have telnet access. Thanks for the reply.
