FTP Advice
I'd like to open up FTP on a Linux system (against my wishes, but hey). I'd like the following objectives to be met:
Only 6 out of 150 NIS users are to be allowed in.
The when logged in, the / directory must be a specified location on the system.
I'd like to use something that comes with the system.
I've had a look at the vsftpd man-page, and while I can specify the users who login, the chroot commands appear to be restricted to the users' home directory, where I do not want the chroot to be.
Does anyone know if I can specifiy the chroot location? Or are there any better ftp daemons for my request? If I can find one that doesn't use inetd, then that's a bonus!
Mike

Re: FTP Advice
maybe it is better to use a ftpuser
with the homedir set to "/"
In use with sftp which comes with ssh you can control access via known-host-keys

Re: FTP Advice
All of the configuration you need to do is within its own conf file.
vsfptd is what red hat acutally uses and it scales up quite nicely.
See these documents for more information:

Re: FTP Advice
If this indeed your situation, than you should not use real system users, but virtual ftp users, which could of course have different settings. Or in other words, just use a different passwd file for ftp authentication then for system auth.
Alternate ftp servers which are powerfull, secure and configurable , able to run standalone: pure-ftpd and proftpd. By all means, avoid wu-ftpd. It's surname is 'providing root since 1988'. Guess why.

Re: FTP Advice
I ended up using vsftpd with a generic ftp user to achieve what I required.
Thanks for you help guys!
