Is there a way to control FTP into an HP 11.0 box to certain users/hosts.

Hi Richard:

Take a look at the man pages (section 4) for 'inetd.sec' and 'ftpusers'.

These files are designed for your needs.

Hi,

Well the simplest way you can do it is using /etc/ftpusers where u will put the name of the users u want to deny ftp. For Hosts you can use inetd.sec file to allow or deny the access to ftp on your machine.
