Bar ftp based of group

[yc_2]

Hi,

Is there a way to bar ftp based on group basis in HP-UX ?


Thanks in advance,
YC

you may want to setup a ftponly account. Take a look at the man page for ftpd.

To configure ftp to deny access by group, try using 'ftpaccess' or 'wu-ftp'. 'ftpaccess' is the built-in HP-UX version that can be a little difficult to get right. 'wu-ftp' is a 3rd party product (try the HP Porting Centre) that has received any good reviews from this Forum.

Share and Enjoy! Ian

* /etc/ftpusers contains the users that cannot
ftp.

* you could make a script that extract the
members of the banned groups from /etc/passwd
and/or /etc/group

* you can run that script on a regular base
(crontab -e)

Hi,

The ftpd that comes with HP-UX 11.00 is (I think) based on wu-ftpd, so it's very similar to set up. If you indeed are running 11.00, you should read the man page for ftpaccess. What you're looking for is the 'deny-gid' directive, which allows you to ban users based on their group membership.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Vincent
