[sun-managers] Summary: FTP fails with tcsh as default shell
2007-12-25 11:49:00
There is a special file called /etc/shells to address this problem. FTP
by default tries to be more secure by only allowing known shells to ftp
in. If /etc/shells doesn't exist, the system defaults to only allowing the
standard, local shells. If it does exist, it will only allow the users
with the shells listed to FTP. A gotcha: once you create /etc/shells, make
sure ALL shells are in there (one per line). If you create it and only put
in /usr/local/bin/tcsh, then only the users with tcsh will be able to ftp in.
Thanks for the many prompt responses from:
