chroot setup

[Robert Spielmann]

Hi,

I want a simple FTP setup with users from /etc/passwd who are supposed
to be locked inside their homedir. I tried several approaches from FAQs
and Google search results, but the only thing I managed to do was that
my user found himself inside an empty directory in Nirvana :-)

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,
Robert

Hi, Nirvana is good on saturday evening

On unix Solaris 9:

create a ftp structure

ftpconfig -d /mydir/ftp

add user only for ftp ( no shell )

*useradd -m -c "Guest FTP" -d /mydir/ftp/test --s /bin/true test*

modify /etc/shells and add /bin/true. Example:

*/bin/sh**
/bin/ksh**
/bin/bash
/bin/true*

set a password

passwd test

configure /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess and add to the default*

guestuser test **
guest-root /mydir/ftp*

modify the file <guest-root>/etc/passwd aka /mydir/ftp/etc/passwd with
only user, group and home copied from the system /etc/passwd

Example:

/etc/passwd*
test:x:1032:100:Guest FTP:/mydir/ftp/test:/bin/true

/mydir/ftp/etc/passwd
**
test:x:1032:100::/test:*

modify the permissions on the directory
*
chmod 700 /mydir/ftp/test****
chown /mydir/ftp/test test*

Now at ftp login you are in /test as root directory

bye
