You mean the . files from the login or the (apache?) webserver configuration files (which do not have to be in the same directory structure as the site itself)?
In regards to your nonexistant thing, "man shells", then "cat /etc/shells" You might want to also look at /etc/ftpchroot (described in "man ftpd"). If you meant the apache config files, you could just have all the web files like: /home/username/sitename.ext/htdocs /home/username/sitename.ext/cgi-bin /home/username/sitename.ext/logs And then specify in the apache config something like ResourceConfig /usr/local/etc/apache/site_configurations/sitename.ext.srm.conf Or something of that nature.
