NAME

     ftpchroot -- list users and groups subject to FTP access restrictions

DESCRIPTION

     The file ftpchroot is read by ftpd(8) at the beginning of an FTP session, after having authenticated the user.  Each line in ftpchroot corre-
     sponds to a user or group.  If a line in ftpchroot matches the current user or a group he is a member of, access restrictions will be applied
     to this session by changing its root directory with chroot(2) to that specified on the line or to the user's login directory.

     The order of records in ftpchroot is important because the first match will be used.  Fields on each line are separated by tabs or spaces.

     The first field specifies a user or group name.  If it is prefixed by an ``at'' sign, '@', it specifies a group name; the line will match
     each user who is a member of this group.  As a special case, a single '@' in this field will match any user.  A username is specified other-
     wise.

     The optional second field describes the directory for the user or each member of the group to be locked up in using chroot(2).  Be it omit-
     ted, the user's login directory will be used.  If it is not an absolute pathname, then it will be relative to the user's login directory.	If
     it contains the /./ separator, ftpd(8) will treat its left-hand side as the name of the directory to do chroot(2) to, and its right-hand side
     to change the current directory to afterwards.

FILES

     /etc/ftpchroot

EXAMPLES

     These lines in ftpchroot will lock up the user ``webuser'' and each member of the group ``hostee'' in their respective login directories:

	   webuser
	   @hostee

     And this line will tell ftpd(8) to lock up the user ``joe'' in /var/spool/ftp and then to change the current directory to /joe, which is rel-
     ative to the session's new root:

	   joe	/var/spool/ftp/./joe

     And finally the following line will lock up every user connecting through FTP in his respective ~/public_html, thus lowering possible impact
     on the system from intrinsic insecurity of FTP:

	   @	public_html

NAME

       ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP

SYNOPSIS

       ftpconfig [ftpdir]

       ftpconfig -d ftpdir

DESCRIPTION

       The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server
       by specifying the user name  ftp or anonymous and the user's email  address as password. The anonymous users  are  logged  on  to  the  FTP
       Server  and  given  access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has  its own minimal system
       files.

       This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the  ftp  user  account,
       creating  device  nodes,  copying  /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data.  The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to
       prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server.	The anonymous file area will be placed	under  ftpdir.	If  the  ftp  user
       account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This
       command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.

OPTIONS

       -d     Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when creating guest FTP
	      user accounts.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       ftpdir	 The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0     Successful completion

       1     Improper usage of the command

       2     Command failed
