I ignored this post before because it was answered
by me on Saturday but since more bandwidth is being
wasted to repeat the SAME discussion, here is what I
posted on Saturday.
However ... try reading/searching the mailing list
before posting!!!!!!!!!
The below is a complete repost word for word of what
I posted on Saturday and also happens to be the
answer to your question if you bothered to search the
mailing list on RedHat
(or read the DOC: /usr/share/doc/wu-ftp-x.x.x/guest.HOWTO)
-----------------------------------------------------
Using wu-ftpd:
Well, one way of doing it without
concern of how the uid/gid looks
in the dir/ls command:
This will effect all users
so you will have to modify
some of the lines to allow
everyone else to do what they
are allowed to do
OR
you can set a guest-root line
for each user (or there may
be a way to do if for more
than one user per line?)
Also correct the allow/deny
lines to allow everyone else.
Two users: usera & userb
Both will be set to see "/" as
/home/userX/ftptop
Edit /etc/ftpaccess
add/change the following:
deny-uid %-99 %65534-
deny-gid %-99 %65534-
allow-uid usera userb
class all guest *
guestgroup usera userb
guest-root /home/usera/ftptop usera
guest-root /home/userb/ftptop userb
The ls/dir command shows
numbers since you are supposed
to do a whole lot more,
but this works and basically
I don't think it is worth the
extra effort just to make dir/ls
look prettier.
I haven't had any problems or
complaints from my users, but
any wu-ftp gurus out there who
can see problems caused by this
feel free to let us all know :-)
But try it out first - it works
fine for me!
If you want to do it all properly,
read the docs - that's what I did
to work this out, but I cut out
some :-)
DOC: /usr/share/doc/wu-ftp-x.x.x/guest.HOWTO
(my version is wu-ftp-2.6.1)
