Hi,
I'm a newbie in Unix.

I have HP/UX 10 I created a user for ftp access using SAM, but I didn't find a tool for giving access to ftp only to the user I created.

My goal:

To restrict a user "TEST" to ftp access only. No telnet or anything else.

Any help will be apreciated!!!
 
I am using tcp_wrappers for that and i am happy with it
find a compiled version including HP10.20 and 9.01 at ftp://ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu/pub/security/wrapbin/
 
what ftp program do you use?
if the "test" user doesnt need a password, try creating anonymous user. this shud solve ur pbm.

 
Just a thought:

-Use chroot to make Test's home directory his root directory.
-Either copy the FTP client executable to Test's home directory, or link to it (I'm not sure if the chroot will invalidate the link).

This should leave you with a user that can access FTP but nothing else (assuming there are no other executables in his home directory).
