set the following to your vsftpd.conf file:

chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

if you dont have the file:

create the file /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list and add the usernames you want to jail to their home directory

dsgdevil · 02-05-2003, 07:51 PM

in what kind of format?like
user "/place"
or something else?

Drogo · 02-05-2003, 07:55 PM

example

vsftpd_choot_list is an empty file with users names that you want to jail on their home directory

the file should be /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list if not create the file

yea but i dont know what kind of format like do i put
user "/home"
or
"/home" user
or something else

Drogo · 02-05-2003, 07:58 PM

only the name of the user

dsgdevil · 02-05-2003, 08:00 PM

so...where do i put the place i want to jail them in?i want to jail them in different places

Drogo · 02-05-2003, 08:05 PM

chroot only jails the user on the directory that you asigned them to..

example if i add a user to be allowed to be on my /var directory ,i just add the name on the chroot list and he will be jail there

so where do i put the jail places?

Go to > system settings >users and groups from the menu

Drogo · 02-05-2003, 08:16 PM

Leave it as is ...

dsgdevil · 02-05-2003, 08:23 PM

can u post for us your vsftpd.conf (w/o the comments) and your vsftpd_chroot_list?

also, for a user the you entered in vsftpd_chroot_list, run a finger on him. say dsgdevil is in vsftpd_chroot_list, do this in a shell:

finger dsgdevil
