I want to have an ftp user who can browse his home directory only, but I want to control who can ftp (so I don't want to use anon ftp). I tried to configure a user to use restricted shell, by creating a file called /bin/resh ( which contained /bin/sh -r ), and then change user's shell to /bin/resh through vipw ( I don't think, this is the correct procedure). Anyway, I can telnet and login using this special user, and get restricted shell (tested using cd command). When I ftp and tried to use this user, it disconnected straigh away, without giving me any chance to enter password. Did I miss something , or this is impossible ? Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks and regards ferry
