/etc/ftpusers file

[Brad Hughes]

I cannot find an /etc/ftpusers file on my system. I am running HP-UX v.11.0. Is there another file on the HP-UX that I can enter ID's to prevent users from using ftp?

Thanks.

Hi Brad:

On 11.x you want: /etc/ftpd/ftpusers.

The 'ftpd' daemon will reject remote logins to local user accounts that are named in this file. Each restricted account name must appear alone on a line in the file. In the absence of the file, this check is skipped.

Hi Brad:
There is no such file by default.You can creat on with an editor. And creat one contain these users:
root
daemon
bin
sys
adm
lp
uucp
nuucp
listen
nobody
noaccess
nobody4

Then you can append those you want to restrict to use FTP to this file.

Hi,
In some Unix flavours instead of "ftpusers" "ftp.allow" file exist like in SCO and UNIXWARE. if u didn't find /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file you can create one, and add the users to restrict to do ftp.
