I cannot ftp as root on a Sparc Solaris 2.5 system.
I believe aset level III may have been applied.
I'd like to be able to ftp as root on occation -
what must I modify to allow it? Something simliar
to /etc/default/login I presume?

thanx,
/rick

Read the manual page on ftpd (man ftpd) and pay specific attention to the file
/etc/ftpusers

Create a file called /etc/shells with mode 644. In it, list all the
shells that can access your machine via FTP. Like this:

/bin/sh
/usr/lib/rsh
/bin/csh
/bin/jsh

Whatever shells you want. Careful... this may also lock ftp users out of
the box if their shell is not listed.
