I'm looking to add a user to a Solaris 7 box that has only the ability to
ftp into the box and be locked into their home directory.
The entry in /etc/passwd is as follows:
test:x:1014:1:Test acct:/./export/home/test:/bin/false
This does keep the user from telnetting in, however I can't ftp in with the
user.
In Linux, I would need to make sure that /bin/false was in
/etc/shells. I'm also not sure if the home directory entry would do what I
want in Solaris.
Scratch the shell question... Man ftpd helped here.
I guess all that's left is how do I lock someone into their
directory? (Using the standard ftpd)
