When a user attempts to log into your system using ftp, the ftpd daemon
checks the /etc/ftpusers file. If the file exists, and the user's login name
is listed in it, ftpd denies access to the user.
User accounts that specify a restricted login shell in /etc/passwd should
be listed in /etc/ftpusers, because ftpd accesses local accounts without
using their login shells. UUCP accounts should also be listed in /etc/ftpusers.
You can use either a text editor or SAM to create and edit the /etc/ftpusers file. SAM (System Administration Manager) is
Hewlett-Packard's windows-based user interface for performing system
administration tasks. To run SAM, type sam at the HP-UX prompt. SAM has
an extensive online help facility.
Each line in /etc/ftpusers consists of a login name with no white space.
Following is an example /etc/ftpusers file:
For more information, type man 4 ftpusers at the HP-UX prompt.
