Add the usernames to /etc/ftpchroot and the user will be chrooted when they login with FTP. If you don't want them to have shell access, add /usr/bin/false to /etc/shells and change the users' shell to /usr/bin/false. That will allow chrooted FTP access and deny shell access.
You could also set ftp-chroot in login.conf(5) but I'm not sure exactly how that works since I haven't RTFM for that :) Sebastian Reitenbach wrote: > Hi all, > > I try to setup the ftpd and to have chrooted users. > > 1. according to the ftpd man page, the users are in the password database, > have > a password > and ksh as shell > 2. their login name is not in /etc/ftpusers > 3. their login name is in /etc/ftpchroot > > > when I start the ftpd with -US > the users can login but they are not chrooted > > when I start the ftpd with -A > then only anonymous ftp works, the ftpd states: > 530 Sorry, only anonymous ftp allowed. > ftp: Login failed. > > when I start the ftpd with -An login access is denied: > 530 User ftp_user access denied. > ftp: Login failed. > > I do not have the ftp-chroot variable set in login.conf, the man page of > login.conf has > nothing about the ftp-chroot variable, I guess I have to add it for the > ftp_user, but do > not know how. > > how do I define the ftp-chroot variable in login.conf, or am I missing > something > else? > > kind regards > Sebastian > -- Joel Goguen Bachelor of Computer Science III University of New Brunswick http://iapetus.dyndns.org/
