Hi all,

OK, from my previous posting, now seems I was very wrong about the way wu-ftpd works; seems that any -real- user with -real- /etc/passwd entry will login and access home and the system just as they telnet or login for modems or terminals.

Let me explain how I'm running my system, what I would want to do, and please fre comment or help:

- System is mainly used for ISP.
- Users does have accounts in real /etc/passwd so they can login using
  PPP and PAP, including the special PAP for Windows 95/NT, so I avoid
  complex setups, scripts, time and user questions.
- The users can also login, and they got a special bash script with some
  options, no more than SLIP, CSLIP, PPP, PASSWD and BYE. I avoid of
  course execute anything they can type, and the allowed commands are
  "hard-coded".
- The shell they got -is not- listed in /etc/shells

Now, I want to allow them to maintain and play with their Web pages, via ftp, and accesing their /home/public_html directory, but ONLY this directory, and anything more. Using Apache here.

Any idea about how to do and configure that? Need I move their Web directories to other location? Then, where and how add their accounts?

Thanks in advance.

Jose
