Subject: Solaris 2.4 and limiting access to users directory...

Following a FAQ put together on how to limit an ftp only user
to their directory I have run into a problem.

I have gotten this to work on a Linux box I have, and now
am attempting to make it work on Solaris (where it really
is needed) but after I get everything setup, I get a
425 Can't create data socket (0.0.0.0,20):Bad file number.

I am probably missing something painfully obvious here, but
can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, thanks to Vincent Cajo for answering my query so quickly.
However, I am having a problem now that I have never seen:
I can login to the account from a unix ftp client, and the default
windows 95 client (text based) and have no problems and the user
is limited no prob.  From a windows based ftp client (Fetch 3.0.1
on the Mac) I cannot see the files/folders in the directory.
Upload a file from Fetch 3.0.1 and you can see it, but rename it
and it disappears (with the new name).

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

did you read the solaris man page for ftpd ??
sounds like you are short some lib files or the zero file under ~ftp/dev

I have a tar file I use to create virtual ftp sites for my domains
it has in it all the files needed for ftp to work on solaris 2.4
if you want it ...  Email me.
