Account restrictions
Lets say for example I want to restrict a users access, for example if they FTP in I want to lock them down to a certain directory. What is the best way of doing this? I'm planning to implement LDAP accounts, so I'd need this to be done automatically. Just not sure how I would go about this task.

auth_enumerate
AUTH_ENUMERATE(3) Double Precision, Inc. AUTH_ENUMERATE(3)
NAME
auth_enumerate - Obtain list of accounts
SYNOPSIS
#include <courierauth.h>
auth_enumerate(int (*callback_func) (const char *, uid_t, gid_t, const char *, const char *, const char *, void *), void *callback_arg);
DESCRIPTION
auth_enumerate enumerates all of the available accounts. auth_enumerate repeatedly calls callback_func, once for each account.
callback_func receives the following arguments:
o Account name.
o Account's numeric userid.
o Account's numeric groupid.
o Account's home directory.
o Account's mailbox (if defined, may be NULL, which indicates the default mailbox location).
o Account's options string (if defined, may be NULL)
o callback_arg, verbatim.
After invoking callback_func for the last account, auth_enumerate invokes callback_func one more time with all parameters set to NULL or 0.
If auth_enumerate encounters an error it will terminate without calling callback_func with all NULL or 0 parameters. This can be used to
determine whether a partial list of accounts was received.
Note
Some back-end Courier authentication modules do not implement account enumeration, so this function may not be available in all
configurations.
