FTP ACCESS

Paul Frederiksen — Tue, 27 Feb 2001 15:10:22 GMT

Fellow Admins,

I am having a problem allowing people to ftp into my system when they have a none standard shell, such as peek shell (pksh-ksh) and if I had my way we wouldn't even run peek, but oh well. Anyways, we have another system and we ARE able to ftp in with a non standard shell. Both ftpusers files are empty. Everything looks fine, any ideas? Thanks!

Paul

make sure there is an entry in /etc/shells for the every shell you wish to allow ftp.

Hi,

It isn't what shell you are using on the client, it is the shell that is the user's default in /etc/passwd that is important. Make sure these shells are listed in /etc/shells on the server. See the shells(4) and the ftpd(1m) man pages for more information.
