I know that this is a standard question but I can't find the
to it in the manuals (SunOs/Solaris) or on the net so here
goes:

I want to have an ftp server with only specified users with
passwords and I want to restrict the users to a certain
directory tree. How do I do it?

I have searched the newsgroup and looked in the FAQ but I
haven't been able to find anything useful.

Hi
well the default ftpd from Sun won't do it (only works for the anonymous
user). You'll need proftpd (my choice) or wu-ftpd (a very popular
choice, but hard to config in opinion) to do this for other users.
