Re: [cobalt-users] [RAQ3] Site Admin Dropping straight to /web

["Thomas" <tsanders.cobalt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Another caveat
The FTP DefaultRoot and DefaultChdir will be HOSED!
AND when they ftp in they will be placed into the /home/sites directory
structure, and they get to see all the clients you have (or lack of clients)

If you want this user to to be placed into $HOME/web when they FTP in
add the following line into /etc/proftp.conf
DefaultChdir ../../web site-adm
in the <global> section

If they are so lazy and cant type /web is they telnet in, put cd /web into
their shell startup rc file.  (in csh and tcsh its call .cshrc and its
located in their default directory) for other shells ask somebody else :)

Hope this helps you out!
