Re: [cobalt-users] telnet access to users?

[Liz <daldog@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm yet another newbie to the RaQ3 and this mailing
list...and what creeps me out is that when a user logs into
telnet (if access is enabled for a user) that user can go
back to the root directory, or any other directory, and
snoop around.  I sure don't want users knowing the location
of key files and other whatnots.  How can I stop them from
going past their own /home/sites/site?/web/ directory?

It appears proftd does an ok job of keeping users pinned
within their own directories.

Btw... I'm sure glad this mailing list exists! :-)
