The goal was to have a master+passworded user be able to upload files via ftp, and to have a user+password user be only able to read from the same folder. In this way, all such users cannot modify my stuff, but I can.
My *brilliant* plan was to have the /etc/passwd entry for master point to /here/you/go and all that is below would be writable. Then for the user, the /etc/passwd entry would be /var/ftp/go. To achieve read only status, I did: # mkdir /var/ftp/go # mount -r --bind /here/you/go/ /var/ftp/go/ I even checked my work with the mount command: # mount <snipped> /here/you/go on /var/ftp/go type none (ro,bind) # Sounded to me like /var/ftp/go would not allow writes, being a (ro,bind) filesystem. I was wrong. Anybody know what I goofed up?
