Hi List,
Hi!
what is the best way to create the user"ftpproxy"? Is it secure enough to add an 5xx password-user with YaST?
No, (if) you do not need a password there, create it group+user without a password (login disabled), i.e.: # groupadd ftpproxy # grep ftpproxy /etc/group /etc/gshadow /etc/group:ftpproxy:x:110: /etc/gshadow:ftpproxy:!:: # useradd -g ftpproxy -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/ftpproxy ftpproxy # grep ftpproxy /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/passwd:ftpproxy:x:501:110::/var/lib/ftpproxy:/bin/false /etc/shadow:ftpproxy:!:11582:0:99999:7:0:: ^ | disabled / no password and use /var/lib/ftpproxy for the chroot env...
Or: what is the way to create an unprivileged user?
