How does one set up ftp-only accounts? This is to be use for updating web pages.
Simple, just add them using YaST and use /bin/false as their login shell
We have all accounts set to /bin/false, but they still can dial-in and get a full connection via our accounting software which uses radius. They just can't telnet in.
(/bin/passwd is also common, this allows them to change their password using telnet). Adjust the home directory to the directory used for ftp transfer. However be advised, that ftp sends passwords in plain text over the wire! Anybody could sniff this traffic and break into this account.
The idea is a Joe can dial-in as normal user then he ftp's to Cindy's account to up load web pages. Cindy's account does nothing but hold web pages. This is what i'm after. *--------------------------------* | Chris Large clarge@macn.bc.ca | | http://gone for now | *--------------------------------* -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
