Regarding the FAQ below – ftpconfig can be used from the global zone to setup
the device special files. Ie.
Localzone% [b]ftpconfig /datadir [/b]
(sets up anon ftp user, but fails on device special files)
Global% [b]ftpconfig /zone/testzone/datadir[/b]
(completes the job by creating the special files - also creates user in
globalzone)
Global% [b]userdel ftp[/b]
(deletes unrequired ftp user from global zone)
This way, you [i]can [/i]use ftpconfig to setup the zone to be an anonymous ftp
server. (Obviously, relies on /datadir being an lofs filesystem from the global
zone).
----- Original FAQ below
Q: Can a zone be an ftp server?
A: A zone can be an ftp server, but it is not possible to use ftpconfig(1M) to
set up a zone to be an anonymous ftp server. This is because ftpconfig attempts
to set up certain device special files, and a zone does not have the necessary
privileges. [December 2005]
