how to deny ftp access
Hi ,
I want to deny ftp access to some user. Currently I don't have /etc/ftpusers file. From the man page , i can modify the login shell at /etc/passwd to invalid one. How to add it ? replaced with /dev/null or something. If you have any other method to disabled it . Pls show me.
My FTP is in.ftpd ( running with wrapper or somethin' ). Thanks!

The file is /etc/ftpd/ftpusers
add the user name in that file to deny access.
solris 10 - use "svcadm disable ftp"
solaris 9 and below - edit the /etc/inet/services and comment out the line with "ftp" on the first column

If you want to deny one machine


# inetadm -p (check it out tcp_wrappers if true or false if it false then
execute this cmd)

# inetadm -M tcp_wrappers=TRUE (make it true)

in.ftpd:<ip or hostname>
