Hi List,

   I'm running an ftp server on my (SuSE)linux box, using the bsd port
"ftpd" run from the inetd superserver. The corresonding line in inetd.conf
reads:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -S -u 022

and the directory I want to serve is /usr/local/ftp/pub. The problem is
that I can log in as anonymous and access my entire filesystem! In fact,
as anoymous I was able to navigate to /etc and download passwd !! I really
need to restrict access to just /usr/local/ftp/pub, but the documentation
that came with the ftpd doesn't say say anthing about file access. Is
there some way I can restrict access to pub?

Thanks!
George
