NAMEprivatepw — Change WU-FTPD Group Access File Information SYNOPSIS/usr/bin/privatepw [-c] [ -d accessgroup ] [ -f ftpgroups ] [ -g group accessgroup ] [-l] [-V] DESCRIPTIONIf a site supports the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands, it is necessary to be able to add, delete and list enhanced access group information. The privatepw utility is used to update this information in the group access file (/etc/ftpd/ftpgroups). This is meant as an administrative tool and not to be run by the general user population. This command requires read/write permission to the appropriate ftpgroups file. OptionsIn the options defined below, accessgroup is an alphanumeric name specified to a group. Please see the Background section for details.
BackgroundAfter user logs in, the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands may be used to specify an enhanced access group and associated password. If the group name and password are valid, the user becomes (via setegid()) a member of the group list in the group access file (/etc/ftpd/ftpgroups) The format of the group access file is: access_group_name:encrypted_password:real_group_name where access_group_name is an arbitrary (alphanumeric + punctuation) string. encrypted_password is the password encrypted via crypt(3), exactly like in /etc/passwd. real_group_name is the name of a valid group listed in /etc/group. |
