Hi all - I'm trying to set up an ftp server to allow our customers to download softwarem, updates, yada yada, The idea is to, upon login, dump the users into their chrooted home dir, which would contain some of our custom software, writted specifically for them. This was easy to do.....now comes the catch: We want to also give them access to a "Common" directory as well. Any ideas? I've thought about structuring the ftp tree as follows: /Common /cust1 /cust2 /cust3 giving the customer only read access to their folder and the Common folder....however, the management doesn't like the idea of presenting our list of customers to the whole world. Soooo... Here was my second strategy: /Common /cust1 |_ symlink to Common /cust2 |_ symling to Common etc etc.....well that didn't work since the users were chrooted to their home dirs. I'm stumped! Thanks- Erik Anderson
