Hi All,

If this information is well documented, please feel free to send me the FAQ
or a link to the appropriate Q&A Website....

(1) One of the ways we are using wu-ftp with a large number of user accounts
(on a webserver).
     Is there any way that we can create user accounts without having
legitimate UNIX users?

(2) Is there any way to lock someone into a directory (i.e. luser1 is locked
into /luser/dirs/luser1, luser2 is locked into /luser/dirs/luser2, etc.)
without having to create the libs, etc, and other directories under each
user directory?

Thanks to all who respond!
Lawrence van der Meer

BeroFTPD supports (1).  I do (1) in chroot'd areas before starting the
daemon.  VR17 supports (2); Bernhard has not yet ported the feature into
BeroFTPD.
