Ftam & shadowpassword

[Jyrki Tounas]

Hi!

I know the combination is unsupported, but my system is in trusted mode and I can´t change it back in untrusted mode.

Question is: Can I create other passwd file, which ftam uses or is there at all anything unsupport way to solve problem.

This might take quite a lot of work, but I think it might be possible to chroot the FTAM application if there is no easier way to solve your problem.

You would have to build a "stripped-down" directory hierarchy for FTAM: for example, if you choose /ftamjail as your chroot directory, you'd create /ftamjail/etc/passwd with just the user accounts FTAM needs.

Everything the application needs must be copied (not symlinked) inside the chroot: system libraries, configuration files (including DNS configuration files like /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf) and the binaries FTAM uses.

Finally, you start the chrooted FTAM with a command like:
chroot /ftamjail the-command-to-start-FTAM
