Allow selected local users using the server, how?

Allow selected local users using the server, how?

Post by Yuan » Fri, 29 Sep 1995 04:00:00



Hi, everybody:

I am using NCSA server and I want to have some ways to control the local
users having their homepages on our SGI. So I did this :

In srm.conf file,  first,I set UserDir DISABLED to block any user's homepage;
and then , use Alias to allow selected users having one, like this :

Alias /~panda/   /usr/users/panda/www/

The system is doing fine now. The only problem is NCSA httpd 1.4 allows only
as many as 20 different Alias be set. That means by doing this way I can only
have at most 20 users on our site having their homepages, and this does't seem
to be a practicl limit in our case. So, my question is, do we have some other
ways to deal with this situation?

Your help is very much appreciated.

How about creating a softlink in the server's document root directory
called "~panda" that links to /usr/users/panda/www/? e.g.

$ ln -s /usr/users/panda/www/ ./~panda
