Re: slightly OT: Way to prevent FTP users from changing dirs?

Jay,

When they log in have their .profile (located in a directory other than that they will have access to) specify they operate in a restricted shell environment.
Check out your man pages or other documentation on setting up either rsh or rksh.

Solaris 2.6

Any hints on how to do this?

I can prevent them from being able to telnet in, but once they ftp in, they

can go pretty much anywhere...

I've been told in the past that you could prevent a FTP user from being able to leave the directory they start off in, but I have no idea how to implement this.. hints?

And please, don't start telling me about setting/removing no world permissions on a directory... that's not what I'm talking about.
