I think this is the last thing I need to get this ftp up and running.

Essentially, I've added a new hard drive for ftp contect (40 gig) Demian has been great helping me with it up and formatted right.

Essentially, the drive is mounted as /ftp and I wanted certain users to have read-only access to it.

Right now though, I'm making use of the guestuser security feature wu-ftpd to limit users to their home directories. As such, a symlink to the directory won't work.

How can I go about getting a working link into their home directory that will allow them into /ftp only?

Mounting it inside the directory? Could I use smbmount? (I used this to import WIndows shares into a restricted account before but, since its already mounted someplace on the linux os here, I'm running into problems with that)

Thanks

Last step

Oh, nevermind, I used smbmount and everything seems to be working great.
