I'm having trouble crating some purely ftp users for my computer. I
crated users with default shell as /bin/false and home directories as
/var/ftp. They are in group ftp and under allow-uid in /etc/ftpaccess. I
can't seem to login with them though. I can login(ftp) as the normal user
i login(non-ftp) with. Whenever I anonymously ftp I can't follow my
symlinks to other parts of my harddrive (variations of my fat32 under
/mnt/C ) but can when I use my non-ftp user login.
Anyone know of some things I may have overlooked in setting up the users,
or how to make the symlinks followable. they were created by ln -s
thanks,
-chuck
