uhm... interesting...

well I do need to chroot my ftp users in their own home directory...
which way do you suggest I can achieve that result?

I was really tempted to close completely the ftp access an allow only
sftp, but then I still have the problem of curious users (students)
browsing file of other users (teachers).

any advice??

thanks
Luca

I don't know why Sun had to pick the ftpd with the worst security
record as the replacement for its in.ftpd in Solaris 9. I would be a
lot happier with proftpd and about anything else BUT wu-ftpd.. Even
RedHat gave up on it and switched to vsftpd recently.

Well, ProFTPD has a fairly trivial to configure chroot capability.
