[solved] ProFTPD for chrooted users (/home/hosting/user) ?
 

Hello.

As u can see i've decided to put my users in jail.
Their home directory is now /home/hosting/user

These users must have ftp capabilities but as I speak their login is rejected by the Proftpd server... (SSH works well).

Instead my default login niels (home/niels) is working great.

My /etc/passwd for example :

[...]
myweb:x:1001:1002:hosting:/home/hosting/myweb/:/bin/chroot
[...]

where /bin/chroot is a little script that execute the chroot command.

If u know how i can configure ProFTPd to work with chrooted users and niels, you'll be welcome :)

NB : myweb isn't in ftp_users :p

You shouldn't have to use any special shell to get the chrooting. YOu can go to your proftpd.conf file and put the following...

DefaultRoot ~

Which sets the default root directory to the [logged in] users's home directory.

I've already done it . Here is my whole proftpd.conf

DefaultRoot ~ isnt enough

u nee this line too:

DefaultRoot /home/user user

then restart proftpd ur users will be jailed

or download my script, it will do it for you at : http://justdome.afraid.org/~punker/uploads/userset

chmod it to 777
copy it to /usr/bin and vi it, ull find all info needed
then just type userset as SU

Thanks a lot Punker51 DefaultRoot /home/user user was what i was searching for :)

Man, this comes as QUITE a surprise to me. I've been running Proftpd for about a year now and I've never needed that extra DefaultRoot directive and my users are jailed just fine.
