.TH FTPUSERS 4 "May 1, 2003"
.SH NAME
ftpusers \- file listing users to be disallowed ftp login privileges
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/etc/ftpd/ftpusers\fR
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBftpusers\fR file lists users for whom \fBftp\fR login privileges are
disallowed. Each \fBftpuser\fR entry is a single line of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
name
.fi
.in -2
.sp
.LP
where \fBname\fR is the user's login name.
.sp
.LP
The FTP Server, \fBin.ftpd\fR(1M), reads the \fBftpusers\fR file. If the login
name of the user matches one of the entries listed, it rejects the login
attempt.
.sp
.LP
The \fBftpusers\fR file has the following default configuration entries:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
root
daemon
bin
sys
adm
lp
uccp
nuucp
smmsp
listen
nobody
noaccess
nobody4
.fi
.in -2
.sp
.LP
These entries match the default instantiated entries from \fBpasswd\fR(4). The
list of default entries typically contains the superuser \fBroot\fR and other
administrative and system application identities.
.sp
.LP
The root entry is included in the \fBftpusers\fR file as a security measure
since the default policy is to disallow remote logins for this identity. This
policy is also set in the default value of the \fBCONSOLE\fR entry in the
\fB/etc/default/login\fR file. See \fBlogin\fR(1). If you allow \fBroot\fR
login privileges by deleting the root entry in \fBftpusers\fR, you should also
modify the security policy in \fB/etc/default/login\fR to reflect the site
security policy for remote login access by \fBroot\fR.
.sp
.LP
Other default entries are administrative identities that are typically assumed
by system applications but never used for local or remote login, for example
\fBsys\fR and \fBnobody\fR. Since these entries do not have a valid password
field instantiated in \fBshadow\fR(4), no login can be performed.
.sp
.LP
If a site adds similar administrative or system application identities in
\fBpasswd\fR(4) and \fBshadow\fR(4), for example, \fBmajordomo\fR, the site
should consider including them in the \fBftpusers\fR file for a consistent
security policy.
.sp
.LP
Lines that begin with \fB#\fR are treated as comment lines and are ignored.
