/etc/ftpusers _______________ # This file describes the names of the users that may # _*NOT*_ log into the system via the FTP server. # This usually includes "root", "uucp", "news" and the # like, because those users have too much power to be # allowed to do "just" FTP... _______________________________________ Hi SuSErs :) Could someone, please, give some background, as to why it is prudent that "All Powerful Root" needs to be shielded, from having immediate access to TOO much power ? . . . is it, perhaps, forethought, that a hostile hack could use ftp to rob the kingdom of the Crown Jewels ?
