I know when you set up the anonymous FTP account, the system
automatically does a chroot.

My question is how do you set up regular users in the same manner?  That
is, I want to issue a chroot so they can't go up past their own home
directory, but I can't figure out where/how to do this.  (Using SCO
5.0.4 with rs504b.)

Thanks in advance,
Fabio

+I'm somewhat familiar with rsh, and I don't think that's exactly what I
+want.  I want the user's home dir to be the top of their directory
+structure if they log on as a regular user, or ftp in.

To do this for ftp purposes, see the 'guestgroup' keyword in the ftpaccess(SFF)
man page.  For regular logins, you will need to roll your own - there is no
such capability waiting for you.

I noticed that it only works when booting
from emergency floppy disk???
