restricting FTP access
I need a hand restricting FTP access on a Solaris 8 box. We are runnign ftpd and have decided (for the first time) to allow a user to connect and gather data, the problem is I want them to be chrooted just like an anonymous user would so they can only access their own home directory.
I can't seem to find how to do this (I have read the man page for ftpd but is only addresses the ftp and anonymous users)
Help?

Are you saying it can't be done using ftpd? I would rahter not have to completely change the system if it isn't needed. I have looked at both wu-ftpd and proftpd and both would work, I would just prefer to keep the system as is if I can do it that way.

The supplied ftp daemon is not equipped to perform such a thing. The designed intention is to provide access for users within the scope of the shell access, only for file transfers.
In order to provide secure/chrooted access, try open source products, such as proftpd which do what you want. Also, sometimes it is better to split read and write access up, i.e. provide upload to a common directory only (via tcpwrapped/anonymous ftp) and download through the web server, controlled by .htaccess.
