Subject: passwd on BSD/OS

Hi again everyone.

This is an ultra simplistic question, and I do apologize to those 
that are fed up with newbies.

I've been trying to figure out where to put the passwd and group 
files, as well as the executables (ls, etc.) on my BSDi machine.  
>From what I understood, they should be in the path that ftp chroots 
to, but I just can't figure out where that would be.  In the INSTALL 
document of beta-7, the path is represented as ~ftp/.......

I have put untared the program in /usr/local/ftp .  Is that where I 
should work out of?  ftpd is in /usr/libexec.  The ftp user's path in 
/etc/passwd is /var/spool/ftp (that's from the ftp that comes with 
BSD/OS).  Would that be it then?  AARRG!

Thanks for reading this.

Pascale

The home directory of "ftp" as listed in your real password file is 
what ~ftp stands for.  You can always change it if you like.
