RE: [cobalt-users] Change FTP to have root access No Answer?

[Sales - Way to the Web <sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry to labour my attempts at enabling root FTP access. I've fully tested
it now and here are all the steps for those wanting to risk opening a
serious security hole:

1. edit /etc/ftpusers and change the line with root to:

# root

2. edit /etc/proftpd and add the following line:
 
RootLogin on

3. also in /etc/proftpd add the following line *directly* below the
equivalent line for the admin user:

DefaultRoot                     / root
 
4. Restart inetd:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart

Please remember that these instructions are not recommended and any damage
arises to your system from following them is purely at your own risk.
