if its the OpenBSD ftpd add the username to /etc/ftpchroot. as for making an account ftp only. add a bogus shell to /etc/shells and change the user's shell to that. i use OpenBSD's /sbin/nologin (prints out a simple message, or whatever is in /etc/nologin.txt, its much simpler and cleaner code then falselogin) another way to do it which is probably more secure is create a file /etc/ftponly. and add the following line to /etc/pam.d/ftp (the linux port of the openbsd ftpd supports pam) auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftponly onerr=succeed i reccommend the 0.3.2 version of OpenBSD ftpd, it includes a built in ls so you don't have to bother with copying libs and the ls binary into each user's home directory. it might be packaged for woody i just compile it myself from source which can be found on freshmeat. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
