Hi Friends,

I would like to block the root user for doing ftp. As I am aware that I need to put the entry for root in /etc/ftpusers.....am I right...??? But I am not able to edit the file & even more command is not working.

#ls -l ftp*
total 14
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 1249 Jun 23 2006 ftpaccess
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 551 Jun 23 2006 ftpconversions
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 104 Jun 23 2006 ftpgroups
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 108 Jun 23 2006 ftphosts
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 114 Jun 23 2006 ftpservers
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 186 Jul 19 2006 ftpusers

etc]# more ftpusers
ftpusers: No such file or directory
etc]# cat ftpusers
cat: cannot open ftpusers

Even when I try to vi this file, it opens the new file.

Can someone suggest me whats wrong.....???

jumadhiya.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root sys ftpaccess -> /var/opt/K/Sco...

You are in the wrong directory,
in Solaris you have to change to /etc/ftpd
here you find the file ftpusers.
