FTP Users

[Inferno]

I need to know how to creat guest ftp users. A user without a home dir and access to the whole computer just the ftp dir. For example user: mp3 pass: mp3 and he will go straight to /home/ftp and can not leave that dir.

Thanx

One way would be to create the "guest" user and change that user's shell to /bin/false You can do that by modifying "guest"'s entry in /etc/passwd. Change whatever shell is defaulted to it to /bin/false

That made ftp login for the user fail, when I tried that, so I had to switch it back to bash.
