in my server i have :
/usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/examples/ftpusers

root in writing in this file but the ftp is not deny. wht can i do to resolve the problem.

That instance of the file is merely an example; it is not the one that ftpd uses.

You must create your own file /etc/ftpd/ftpusers

You may aslo need to restart ftpd to pick up the new file.

Check out the upload keyword on the ftpaccess man page and in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.

Hi,
You should manually create the directory /etc/ftpd and inside this directory create the file ftpusers.Add the usernames in this file to disable ftp for that users.
To restart the the ftp service,
#inetd -c

[ats1]

is it the same process for telnet? i want to deny telnet for root only. help me please
bests regards

Hi,
You can create a file /etc/securetty
and add the word console in it.
#cat /etc/securetty
console

This should work
