Hello again!
Original posting:
> How do you set up an ftp login to be chroot'ed on a Solaris 7 box?
Solutions:
Replace Suns ftpd with one of the following:
o WU-FTPD ==> http://www.academ.com/academ/wu-ftpd/
o ProFTPD ==> http://www.proftpd.org
o NC-FTPD ==> http://www.ncftpd.com
Most suggested WU-FTPD or Pro-FTPD. We'll probably go for PRO-ftpd.
Scott Adkins <sadkins@voyager2.cns.ohiou.edu> summarizes:
