The question is, if ProFTPD can switch to diferent system accounts without running as root, and how. Also, how much buggy is the code that runs before user switching is done. And, if real chroot is possible without root permissions (capabilities?). Because, real chroot() brings more security than mod_vroot. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [email protected] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
