NAME
ftpusers - security file for ftpd(1M)
DESCRIPTION
ftpd rejects remote logins to local user accounts that are named in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers. Each res-
tricted account name must appear alone on a line in the file. The line cannot contain any white space.
User accounts that specify a restricted login shell in /etc/passwd should be listed in
/etc/ftpd/ftpusers because ftpd accesses local accounts without using their login shells. UUCP
accounts should be listed in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers.If/etc/ftpd/ftpusers does not exist,
ftpd skips the security check.
EXAMPLES
Given an /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file containing the following:
Only lines that exactly match user account names are
significant. Blank lines are harmless because they
do not match any account names. However you must be
careful.
uucp
guest
ftpd would reject login attempts using the local accounts careful., uucp,orguest.
