Hi Oliver,

for details

Subject: wuftpd home directory


I have the following entry in the /etc/passwd:

ftptest1:x:67775:80:ftp test
account:/usr/local/documents/ftptest1/./:/bin/false

Then when echo time login in with ftp, I got message saying "No home
directory, home=/",  why does this happen? I actually want ftptest1's
home directory to be /usr/local/documents/ftptest1.  

Also, after I login, I would like to restrict ftptest1 to only use its
own home directory, but it seems that I still can switch to other
directories. why?  Is there any other files I need to configure ? 

Thanks a lot for advice!
